Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured commercial vehicle leasing for its 2026 vehicle replacement tranche. The requirement covers motor vehicles supplied through leasing arrangements, under the financial leasing services category (CPV 66114000), for delivery in Bristol. It is a call-off from the RM6268 framework, Lot 2a, and supports replacement vehicles within the organisation’s wider fleet. The buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant, a public health body based at North Bristol Park in Bristol. The selected provider is Novuna Vehicle Solutions, a large commercial vehicle leasing business based in Trowbridge. The requirement is therefore relevant to fleet leasing companies, vehicle finance providers and organisations able to supply and manage commercial vehicles for a public-sector operational fleet.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. NHS Blood and Transplant used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a further requirement under an existing framework call-off. The stated rationale was that the original call-off identified vehicles for the relevant period but not the total number required across the contract lifecycle, allowing a repetition of existing services under the framework’s conditions. Evaluation was based on price alone. Novuna Vehicle Solutions was selected as the supplier, with one valid bid recorded. The lowest and highest valid bid were both £2,503,017.60, indicating the recorded bid value. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and is active. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

For competitors, this award demonstrates NHS Blood and Transplant’s demand for managed commercial vehicle replacement through a public-sector framework call-off, rather than a standalone open competition. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be established commercial vehicle leasing or fleet management businesses able to provide suitable motor vehicles, arrange vehicle finance, and support operational replacement programmes. Experience of working under the RM6268 framework, or an equivalent public procurement framework, would be commercially relevant. The procurement also shows that price was the sole recorded evaluation basis, so a credible provider would need a competitive and transparent pricing model alongside the capacity to fulfil a sizeable vehicle requirement. Fleet administration, delivery coordination and reliable supply planning would support competitiveness for this buyer’s recurring vehicle needs.
