## Summary

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for the provision of insourced echocardiography services. The procurement falls within the industry category of cardiology services and is identified under CPV code 85121231. This contract was awarded through a competitive process based on a framework agreement, specifically the SBS Framework 10203 for the insourcing of clinical support services. The award was finalised on 10 December 2025, with the services scheduled to begin on 1 January 2026 and run until 31 December 2027, with an option to extend by up to 12 months. The estimated contract value stands at £1,073,904. The location for the service delivery is the region UKK23, which includes Somerset.

This contract creates substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in healthcare support services, particularly those with capabilities in cardiology imaging and analysis. The procurement method was limited, meaning the project was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, likely to those previously identified within the framework. The focus on utilising existing Somerset Foundation Trusts' equipment and support systems provides an excellent opportunity for businesses experienced in working with NHS frameworks or those looking to expand in this niche market of healthcare insourcing opportunities. Companies such as ICS Operations T/A Xyla Elective Care, which was awarded the contract, are ideally suited for this type of project, demonstrating the potential for growth and development in the healthcare sector through strategic partnerships and expert knowledge.
