## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured HSCN connectivity for its estate, under the requirement titled Convergence HSCN Circuits. The scope covers one HSCN circuit to ARK Cody Park with monthly rental and installation, plus one HSCN connection to Spring Park with monthly rental and installation. This is a managed telecommunications and network-connectivity service, with associated installation works; the recorded classification is CPV 72212210, networking software development services. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The named service locations are ARK Cody Park and Spring Park, supporting the Trust’s connectivity between its operational sites and the HSCN network.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one lot. Convergence (Group Networks) Limited was awarded the contract, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2029. Its value is £41,629.62 excluding VAT, or £49,955.55 including VAT. The procurement is recorded as a services contract and the contract remains active. The published outcome shows a single supplier for the HSCN circuit rentals, connections and installations, rather than a competitive evaluation between multiple bidders.

This requirement is relevant to telecommunications providers, network integrators and managed connectivity specialists able to design, supply, install and support HSCN circuits for NHS organisations. Credible competitors would need practical experience of HSCN services, site connectivity and installation, together with the operational capacity to manage recurring network rentals and maintain reliable connections across healthcare locations. The requirement demonstrates demand for a supplier able to combine circuit provision with physical installation rather than offering connectivity as a standalone service. A small or medium-sized specialist can be competitive for this type of focused NHS networking requirement, provided it can evidence dependable service delivery, suitable technical capability and experience working with public-sector or healthcare connectivity environments.
