Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "Vehicle Hire" was conducted by the Medway NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority located at Medway Maritime Hospital, Gillingham, United Kingdom. The procurement focused on the services industry with the hiring of vans including drivers, as specified by CPV code 60183000. The tender, which followed a direct procurement method below the threshold and without competition, reached its completion stage with a contract awarded on 17th October 2025. The contract has a duration of one day, starting and ending on 17th October 2025, and was signed a day prior, on 16th October 2025, with a gross contract value of £12,462 GBP.

This procurement presents opportunities for growth specifically for businesses involved in the vehicle hire sector. Regal Rental, the supplier awarded the contract, falls within the small and medium enterprise (SME) category, indicating similar-sized companies may find success in competing for such tenders with public health entities. The straightforward nature of the direct procurement process could attract SMEs capable of consistently delivering the required vehicle services efficiently. Businesses with expertise in vehicle rental, especially those offering specialised vehicles like vans with drivers, are well-suited to capitalise on similar opportunities presented by public authority tenders.
