Relocatable CT and MRI Scanners and staff at Minehead Community Hospital

The procurement process concerns a contract awarded by the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for the provision of relocatable CT and MRI scanners at Minehead Community Hospital. The contract is part of the NHS Supply Chain MECSS framework and falls under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process was executed through a limited method, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its classification outside the directive's scope.

The industry category focuses on imaging equipment for medical use, with delivery set for the UK region UKK23. The procurement tag is "award" and "contract", indicating the stage as complete, with essential dates being from 8th August 2025 to 26th March 2026, and an option to extend to 26th May 2026.

With a contract valued at approximately £1,041,467.50, it is ideal for businesses experienced in supplying medical equipment and skilled personnel, like radiologists, to healthcare facilities. SMEs that offer competitive pricing and have a track record of efficient service delivery would be well-suited to succeed in such tenders. The awardee, AGITO Medical A/S, reflects the potential for both local and foreign SMEs to participate and win contracts under this framework.
