## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought replacement medical oxygen flowmeters and vacuum regulators for its community sites. These devices control oxygen delivery and vacuum supply at the point of care. The procurement is for equipment rather than installation or ongoing maintenance services. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust based in Taunton, and delivery is in Somerset. The requirement was grouped as one lot and classified as medical metering equipment. It supports the trust’s community healthcare services by replacing gas wall equipment used at those sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gas Arc Group Limited. The trust used a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 20 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 September 2027. Its value is £32,762.15 excluding VAT, or £39,314.58 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the replacement oxygen flowmeters and vacuum regulators. The published procurement data gives no evaluation criteria, so the stated outcome is the supplier selection through the direct-award route rather than a scored competition.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide medical oxygen flowmeters and vacuum regulators suitable for gas-wall use at community healthcare sites. The awarded supplier was a specialist medical gas equipment company, showing that product expertise in this equipment area is relevant to the buyer’s requirement. Suppliers should be able to supply replacement equipment at the scale of a single-site-group requirement for a public healthcare provider, and serve the Somerset delivery area. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this purchase, so the outcome does not establish a competitive scoring model or detailed qualification requirements. Commercially, the award indicates a defined replacement need for medical gas equipment in the trust’s community estate.
