UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is buying the supply and delivery of red diesel, also known as rebated gas oil, for standby generators and heating boilers across its hospital estate. The requirement covers fuel deliveries to the Trust’s fuel storage locations serving generator plant and heating boiler systems. This is a goods contract for diesel oil and gas oils, with delivery across the Trust’s estate in Bedfordshire, including locations served from Luton. It is suited to fuel suppliers able to provide the required type of rebated fuel and manage deliveries to operational healthcare facilities. The requirement is focused on reliable fuel supply and delivery rather than equipment installation, construction or maintenance of the generator and boiler plant.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £97,000 excluding VAT, or £116,400 including VAT. The contract period is 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2027. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 5pm on 21 August 2026, and offers were due by noon on 4 September 2026. Electronic submission was allowed. The Trust will evaluate offers primarily on cost, weighted at 90%, with quality weighted at 10%. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to fuel businesses able to meet the delivery and service requirements at this scale.

This opportunity suits a competent, experienced fuel supplier with the operational capacity to source, handle and deliver red diesel or rebated gas oil to multiple Trust fuel storage locations. Suppliers should be able to coordinate deliveries across an estate serving standby generator plant and heating boiler systems, including deliveries to healthcare facilities where dependable logistics and accurate fulfilment are important. Relevant experience in commercial or institutional fuel distribution would position a bidder well, particularly where it can demonstrate consistent supply, delivery planning and safe handling of gas oils. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so smaller regional fuel distributors may be well placed to compete if they can provide dependable coverage and meet the Trust’s quality expectations.
