Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured commercial vehicle leasing services for its 2026 vehicle replacement tranche. The requirement covers motor vehicles supplied through leasing arrangements, supporting the replacement of vehicles used by the health-sector public body. Delivery is associated with the Bristol area. The procurement formed part of framework RM6268, Lot 2a, and was described as a call-off contract. The buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant, based at North Bristol Park, Bristol. The requirement is primarily a financial leasing service, with the underlying assets being commercial motor vehicles. This is relevant to vehicle leasing companies, fleet-management providers and organisations able to supply and administer replacement commercial vehicles for a public-sector operational fleet.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to Ayvens. It used a limited procedure, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, for a repetition of existing services under the stated framework conditions. The rationale was that the original call-off specified vehicles for that period but not the total number required across the contract lifecycle. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award to Ayvens is active and the related contract is active. One bid was recorded, with both the lowest and highest valid bid valued at £2,988,257.70 excluding any unstated tax treatment. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026. Evaluation was based on price alone.

This outcome indicates demand from NHS Blood and Transplant for managed leasing of commercial vehicles as part of a structured replacement programme. A credible future competitor would need experience supplying and administering commercial vehicle leasing, with the operational capacity to support a public-sector fleet and deliver replacement vehicles reliably in the Bristol area. The requirement was handled as a call-off from an established framework and awarded through a route for repeating existing services, so suppliers would need to understand framework call-offs and demonstrate continuity with an existing vehicle-leasing requirement. Price was the sole recorded evaluation basis, making competitive whole-life leasing costs and efficient fleet administration important commercial capabilities. The selected supplier was a large leasing business.
