Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the supply of fuel cards, titled "Fuel Cards", under the industry category of goods. The procurement, which is based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, was conducted directly as a below-threshold process without competition. The timeframe for this contract spanned from 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025, with the contract having been signed on 31st March 2025. The supplier selected for this contract is Fuelmate, based in Hull, United Kingdom. This process is part of an interim measure while a larger re-procurement exercise is in progress.

This tender offers significant business growth potential for firms involved in fuel card services, particularly those capable of fulfilling contracts within public authorities. Since the procurement method bypassed the competitive bidding process, it indicates opportunities for businesses with strong direct negotiation capabilities and existing relationships with public sector buyers. Large-scale suppliers such as Fuelmate, which was awarded the contract, can leverage this contract to strengthen their portfolio in public authority procurement, potentially positioning themselves favourably for future phases of the re-procurement exercise.
