## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured a staffed relocatable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner for Bridgwater Community Hospital, Bower Lane, Bridgwater. The service is intended to increase the Trust’s capacity for complex MRI scanning and reduce patient waiting times. It includes the scanner, two radiologists providing the service five days a week, and pharmaceutical products and other consumables needed for delivery. The requirement is primarily for medical imaging equipment and associated clinical services. The work is delivered at Bridgwater Community Hospital, while the buyer is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based in Taunton. The selected supplier, AGITO Medical, is a Birmingham-based small or medium-sized enterprise. NHS Supply Chain’s managed equipment and clinical service solutions framework underpins the procurement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust made a direct award to AGITO Medical through the NHS Supply Chain framework, without a prior call for competition, using a limited procedure and continuing an existing provision during delays to a new diagnostic centre. The award was based on price. The award covers services from 17 August 2026 to 9 October 2026. Its stated lifetime value is £165,355 including consumables. The associated active contract is valued at £70,000, was signed on 13 August 2026, and has been awarded to AGITO Medical. One bid was recorded. The contract is described as a short-term extension and does not include options.

For suppliers assessing future NHS diagnostic equipment and clinical-service requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a relocatable, staffed MRI solution rather than equipment supply alone. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable mobile or relocatable MRI scanner, organise reliable weekday operation at a hospital site, and supply appropriately qualified radiologists capable of supporting complex MRI scanning. It would also need to manage pharmaceutical products, consumables, installation or mobilisation, and day-to-day service continuity. Experience delivering clinical imaging services for an NHS trust, including reducing waiting times and maintaining operational resilience during estate or diagnostic-centre delays, would strengthen a supplier’s position. Familiarity with NHS Supply Chain framework routes and the ability to support a short-term continuation of service are also relevant.
