Relocatable CT Scanner staffed

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for a relocatable CT scanner staffed at Bridgwater Community Hospital, classified under imaging equipment for medical, dental, and veterinary use. The process followed a limited procurement method due to the urgency of the requirement, falling outside the directive's scope. The contract, valued at £331,000, was awarded to AGITO Medical AS and runs from 30 January 2025 to 30 July 2025.

This contract is established under an NHS Supply Chain framework and aims to improve the Trust's CT scanning capabilities and reduce waiting times. This tender provides an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in medical imaging equipment and services, particularly those with experience in the healthcare sector and familiarity with NHS procurement frameworks. Companies capable of providing advanced imaging technology and staffing solutions would find this contract particularly appealing.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may benefit from such direct awards, given the streamlined process and specific expertise required.
