UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured passenger transport with a driver for dental students travelling from Hull to LDI. The requirement covers vehicle hire for transporting dental students and staff associated with the Leeds Dental Institute. The buying organisation is the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based on Great George Street in Leeds. Delivery is centred on the journey between Hull and LDI, making this relevant to passenger transport operators, private-hire vehicle companies, minibus and coach providers, and other businesses able to provide reliable driver-led travel for students and dental staff. The service is classified as hire of passenger cars with driver and hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than being divided into multiple lots.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. TJ's Travel Limited, an SME, was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The contract is active, while the tender is complete. The award covers the single vehicle-hire requirement for students travelling from Hull to LDI. The recorded procurement route means the supplier was selected without a competitive tender. The outcome is therefore relevant as evidence of the Trust's purchasing route and spend for this defined transport requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award shows a defined requirement for driver-led passenger transport supporting Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust's dental education activity. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable passenger vehicles and drivers for journeys between Hull and LDI, with enough operational capacity to support student and dental staff travel throughout the service period. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport business rather than only by a large national operator. Businesses assessing future opportunities with this buyer should therefore position experience in organised passenger transport, dependable vehicle availability, driver provision and service continuity around NHS-related student travel.
