Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured vehicle repair and maintenance services, including vehicle parts, through a call-off order. The requirement supports the Trust’s operational vehicle fleet and covers the supply of repair work and associated parts rather than vehicle purchase or leasing. The buying organisation is based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot, and the contracted work is for the Trust’s operations in the Mersey and West Lancashire area. The procurement is categorised as services, with the relevant classification describing repair and maintenance services. It is a focused automotive aftercare requirement for a public-sector healthcare organisation, relevant to garages, vehicle maintenance businesses, parts suppliers and firms able to combine servicing with parts provision.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold call-off order using a single lot. Heatons Garage Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 9 July 2026 to 8 July 2027. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The available procurement record does not set out an award date or evaluation criteria, so the outcome is reported on the basis of the completed award and contract information. The arrangement is below the applicable threshold and relates to vehicle repairs and parts for the Trust.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from a large NHS hospital trust for dependable vehicle repairs, maintenance and parts through a straightforward call-off arrangement. Suppliers well placed for a similar requirement would have an operational garage capability, suitably trained mechanics, access to reliable replacement parts and the capacity to service a public-sector fleet over a sustained contract period. Experience of diagnosing and repairing different vehicle types, managing turnaround times, maintaining service records and handling routine purchasing and invoicing would strengthen a supplier’s position. A local or regional automotive business may be credible, as the selected supplier is an SME based in Burscough. Firms that can provide responsive repairs as well as parts supply should monitor this buyer’s future fleet-maintenance requirements.
