Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Staff Shuttle Service" was conducted by the Medway NHS Foundation Trust, located at Medway Maritime Hospital, Gillingham, United Kingdom. This process involved the direct procurement method and concluded without competition, as it fell below the threshold. The tender's primary focus was in the transportation industry, specifically involving the hire of two Optare single decker buses for staff transport between locations, which includes a broad range of regions across the United Kingdom. The procurement, which is classified under the central government umbrella, reached the award and contract stage, with key dates including the contract start date of 20th November 2025 and an end date of 31st March 2026. The contract was completed and officially signed on 20th November 2025, with the total contract value amounting to £249,048 gross.

This procurement process presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs within the transportation sector, as evidenced by the successful award to ASD Transport, an SME based in Medway City Estate. Businesses that supply or operate in the provision of motor vehicles for passenger transport, especially those offering services in the procurement of shuttle or staff transport solutions, would find this type of contract beneficial. The existence of a broad regional service requirement highlights a demand for dependable transportation service providers capable of operating efficiently in multiple locations across the UK. This contract also underscores the benefits for small to medium enterprises in exploring potential direct procurement opportunities with public authorities amidst competitive environments.
