## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured VeinClear radiofrequency ablation treatment for varicose veins. The purchase is classified as medical consumables and supports treatment of patients with varicose veins. The Trust is based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The goods are being delivered in Somerset. This is a focused medical supply requirement for a named treatment, rather than a general hospital consumables contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Frontiere Medicale Europe Ltd. The Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. There was one lot, covering medical consumables for the VeinClear varicose-vein treatment. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026 and runs from 23 June 2026 to 22 June 2028. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process records no separate evaluation criteria; the supplier was selected through the direct-award route.

For suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s recurring varicose-vein treatment requirement, relevant strengths include supplying radiofrequency ablation products suitable for the VeinClear treatment and dependable delivery to Somerset. The awarded supplier is an SME, demonstrating that a smaller medical supplier can serve this focused requirement. Credible competitors would need to show that their products meet the clinical purpose and can be supplied reliably to an NHS foundation trust. The contract is a single-lot medical consumables purchase, so suppliers focused on the specific treatment and able to support the Trust’s requirements are more relevant than general consumables providers. The direct, non-competitive award route was used for this purchase; the recorded process does not identify a scored evaluation basis.
