About

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust awarded contracts to Buchanan Orthotics Limited and Hugh Steeper Limited (trading as Steeper) for the provision of orthotic products.

The contracts were divided into two lots: Lot 1 covered bespoke footwear and associated technical construction instructions (TCIs), while Lot 2 covered stock and modular footwear, TCIs, functional foot orthoses (FFOs), and made-to-measure and off-the-shelf specialist goods.

The total contract value was approximately £900,000.

The Orthotics Service aimed to improve quality and cost-effectiveness, ensure prompt and reliable delivery, and reduce faulty orthotic devices requiring return.
