## Summary

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for the provision of endoscopy services specifically related to Bowel Cancer Screening Programme, awarding the contract to Somerset Surgical Services Ltd. The procurement falls within the healthcare services category, specifically focusing on surgical hospital services, and will take place at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The procurement process followed the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations instead of the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015, utilising a direct award procedure. The contract spans from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027 with a total value of £65,000, awarded formally on 16 April 2026.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses already involved in healthcare and surgical services to grow, particularly those capable of providing colonoscopy services efficiently. Businesses that prioritise quality, innovation, integration, and collaboration are likely suited for such contracts. The procurement process places significant emphasis on social value and reducing health inequalities, thereby encouraging businesses with expertise in improving access and choice in healthcare. Existing service providers with a proven track record, as demonstrated by Somerset Surgical Services Ltd, are particularly well-suited to capitalise on such procurement opportunities.

## Notice

The aim of the contract is predominantly to cover colonoscopy.

The procedures will be diagnostic (except polypectomy, see below) and patients will be from the endoscopy waiting list and the list for the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP).
