## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is buying specialist NHS predictive and prescriptive analytics services under the Red Circle Prescribe & Predict platform. The service uses existing costing and activity data to produce forecasts and actionable recommendations for operational improvement. It is designed to work alongside the Trust’s existing systems, allowing rapid implementation and evaluation rather than requiring a standalone replacement. The requirement is best suited to suppliers providing healthcare analytics, systems consultancy and decision-support solutions for NHS organisations. The buyer is based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The selected provider is Red Circle Healthcare Advisory Ltd, a UK small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of healthcare-focused analytical service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold direct award without competition. Red Circle Healthcare Advisory Ltd was selected on 31 March 2026 for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. The award covers services classified as systems consultancy. The process used a direct procurement route under the Procurement Act 2023. The outcome shows that Somerset NHS Foundation Trust chose a specialist supplier for a defined analytics capability rather than running a competitive tender or dividing the requirement between multiple providers.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, this award indicates a requirement for practical NHS analytics that converts existing costing and activity data into forecasts and improvement recommendations. A credible competitor would need healthcare-sector understanding, predictive and prescriptive analytics capability, and the ability to integrate with established NHS systems. The selected approach also demonstrates the importance of rapid implementation and evaluation, so suppliers should be able to show how their platform can be introduced quickly and assessed in operational use. Smaller specialist firms can compete for this type of focused requirement, provided they can evidence reliable systems consultancy, relevant NHS or healthcare experience, and the capacity to support delivery throughout the service period.
