Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured two electric tug vehicles with cab support for hospital operations in Bradford. The goods are classified as lifting trucks. The requirement was for vehicles rather than a wider fleet or associated service package.

The procurement was completed and awarded directly to Bradshaw Electric Vehicles without competition. The contract was signed on 17 March 2026, with a stated period from 31 March to 29 April 2026. Its value was £63,492.22 excluding VAT (£76,190.66 including VAT). The contract is recorded as terminated; the implementation end date was 29 April 2026, and the termination rationale records that the contract was completed. The award was for the single lot, with no evaluation criteria stated.

This purchase demonstrates demand from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for electric tug vehicles fitted with cab support. Suppliers positioning for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable electric tug vehicles and meet the practical cab-support specification. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist vehicle supplier was selected for this modest, two-vehicle requirement. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so a competitor would need to understand the buyer’s purchasing route as well as offer equipment suited to hospital operations. No specific accreditations, service obligations or technical performance thresholds are recorded.
