Relocatable CT Scanner staffed

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, a UK public health organisation, has completed a procurement process for the provision of a relocatable CT scanner, which includes staffing and supply of contrast material. The procurement falls under the medical imaging equipment industry and is designated for use at Yeovil District Hospital, Somerset, UK (Region UKK23).

The contract, worth £320,000, commenced on 6 May 2025 with an initial duration of four months and the potential for a two-month extension. The procurement was conducted using a limited method without a prior call for competition, justified by the urgent requirement under a framework agreement. SMEs capable of providing complex medical equipment and services without needing a competitive bid can find growth opportunities in similar NHS procurement processes.

With the awarded supplier being AGITO Medical AS, a Denmark-based SME, this reflects how international and domestic businesses can engage with public sector procurement to expand their service delivery and market presence.
