UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew has awarded a contract titled "Hire & Maintenance of Manual Wheelchairs & Mobility Scooters," which falls within the services industry category, specifically relating to repair and maintenance services. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, is now in the award stage and is complete. This contract, identified by the code RBGKEW1470, is structured under limited competition and falls below the threshold, reflecting the legal stipulations detailed in UKPGA 2023/54. The service area spans several regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The contract was signed on 1 December 2025 and will commence on 2 February 2026, running until 1 February 2029, with an option for a two-year extension, making it potentially extendable until 2031. The total contract value is grossed at £132,000, with a net worth of £110,000.

This tender offers expansive business growth opportunities for companies specialising in maintenance and repair services, particularly those able to deliver high-quality wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Suppliers like National Mobility Hire Ltd, identified as a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Leicestershire, have successfully secured a role in this contract due to their expertise in such services. Businesses with an inclination to navigate the requirements of central government public authorities, and especially those with operational capabilities across diverse UK regions, stand in a favourable position to compete for similar procurements. This opens avenues not just for strategic partnerships but also for widening service offerings within the public sector.
