## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procures the HealthShare Health Connect Enterprise system, an enterprise software and IT services requirement covering software and computer-network services. The contract concerns the provision of the system, with its scope continuing unchanged under the extension. The buyer is the Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, and the delivery location is Taunton. This is a health-sector technology requirement for suppliers able to provide and support an enterprise health-connectivity system, rather than a general IT services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract extension has been implemented. The Trust used a limited award without a new competition, relying on the original contract’s extension provisions and the London Procurement Partnership framework; the stated justification is that technical reasons prevent competition because the services can be supplied only by a particular operator. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. Intersystems was selected. The active contract was signed on 18 September 2026, with a value of £184,815. The two-year extension runs from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2028. The extension is permitted under Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and does not materially change the service scope.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows that Somerset NHS Foundation Trust uses the HealthShare Health Connect Enterprise system and extends provision through the London Procurement Partnership framework. A future competitor would need credible capability to provide and support this specific enterprise system, and to demonstrate the technical expertise and continuity needed to maintain an established health-connectivity service without changing its scope. The route used here was an extension under existing contract provisions, justified on the basis that technical reasons leave no competition for the service; this indicates that the incumbent product and its integration are central to the requirement. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should assess whether they can meet the system-specific technical demands and compete through the relevant procurement framework.
