## Summary

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has issued a contract modification notice for the Medisight Ophthalmology system, aimed at aligning two merged acute trusts—Yeovil Hospital and Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, UK. This modification falls under the category of IT software packages and adheres to Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). The process, which has moved to the award stage as of 16 March 2026, does not constitute a new contract but rather a variation of an existing contract. This procurement falls outside the typical directive scope due to its nature, with no substantial modification impacting the original contract. Key dates include the contract being signed on 24 February 2026, and the process was conducted through a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses operating in the field of IT software, particularly those specialising in healthcare systems. Given its nature—a modification notice to align healthcare trusts—companies with expertise in systems integration and healthcare IT solutions may find this particularly relevant. Medisoft Limited, an SME already involved, indicates a favourable environment for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses looking to expand their presence in the healthcare sector, especially those with existing operations or relationships in the UK, can leverage partnerships and bolster their growth by engaging with similar opportunities in public procurement processes.

## Notice

This Modification Notice is being published in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR 2015").
The original call off contract was awarded under a framework agreement established in accordance with PCR 2015. The award was not published on the Find a Tender Service (FTS) because, at the time of award, PCR 2015 did not require publication of call off awards on FTS, and publication was instead made on Contracts Finder.
As no prior FTS notice exists for this contract, this Modification Notice is being published as a standalone notice. The Find a Tender Service will therefore generate a new OCID for this notice in accordance with the FTS notice creation process, which permits publication of notices not linked to any existing notice.
This modification meets the conditions of Regulation 72(1)([INSERT: b or c or e or f]) PCR 2015.
The value of the modification does not exceed 50% of the original contract value (where applicable under Reg. 72(1)(b) or (c)).
No new contract is being created as a result of this modification; rather, the existing contract is being varied in accordance with the permitted modification grounds under Regulation 72.
This notice is published to fulfil the transparency obligation applicable to modifications relying on Regulation 72(1)(b) or 72(1)(c) PCR 2015 and to ensure the contract change is advertised in line with the statutory requirements.**
