Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust involves the hiring of a medical van suitable for consultations, focusing on the services industry category. The process is located in Nottingham, East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation, which falls below the threshold, and the tendering stage has been completed. The tender concluded on 31 May 2025, and the contract period runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2027. The contract was awarded to Close Brothers Vehicle Hire on 12 June 2025, with a contract value of £43,496.88. This award was published on 20 June 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for vehicle hire companies, particularly those experienced in providing specialised vans for medical purposes. Businesses with an established reputation for reliability and flexibility in service provision, and those capable of meeting the specific requirements of the healthcare sector, would be well qualified to compete for similar future tenders. While the opportunity itself was not targeted specifically towards SMEs or VCSEs, established suppliers with previous experience in the healthcare and public sector markets could find potential growth in similar procurement opportunities. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, acting as the buying organisation, signifies a stable and potentially repeat client for suppliers offering quality service in this domain.
