## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought an HS BQ900 slit lamp for ophthalmology, supplied with an instrument table, headrest and associated accessories. This is specialist clinical equipment for eye examinations and related ophthalmic work. The procurement is for goods rather than a service or construction project. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The equipment was procured as a single lot, with the listed item classified as ophthalmology equipment. The supplied scope centres on the slit lamp and the named supporting components; the procurement description does not set out further clinical, installation or maintenance requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Haag-Streit UK Limited was selected as supplier and the contract was signed on 1 October 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £44,953.12 excluding VAT, or £53,943.74 including VAT. The procurement was conducted below the applicable threshold; the recorded method detail does not identify a more specific procedure. There was one lot, covering the slit lamp and associated equipment. The published procurement data does not state an evaluation basis, so the award criteria cannot be summarised from these details.

This award shows Somerset NHS Foundation Trust buying a specialist ophthalmology instrument package: an HS BQ900 slit lamp with its instrument table, headrest and accessories. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement next reaches the market would need to provide the specified clinical equipment and the associated components as a coherent package. Haag-Streit UK Limited was selected, demonstrating that a specialist equipment supplier could meet the Trust’s requirement. The scale is a focused, single-lot supply rather than a broad clinical services contract. Credibility will therefore depend on the ability to supply ophthalmology equipment to the Trust in the required configuration; the award data does not identify further technical qualifications or service capabilities as evaluation requirements.
