Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 23 September 2025 and sent to carrie-anne.hiscock@somersetft.nhs.uk.

It could not be mitigated so they were excluded from involvement in the procurement process. One other potential conflict was declared but the Head of Procurement was confident the conflict had been appropriately mitigated and the individual's involvement in the process could continue.Decision-makers: Deputy Service Director, Clinical Service Manager, Clinical Director for Patient Safety.
