UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured the supply of red diesel for the Vanguard Unit at Hemel Hempstead Hospital. This is a goods requirement for diesel fuel, classified under CPV 09134200, supporting the operation of the unit at the hospital. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust based at Watford General Hospital in Watford. The requirement concerns fuel supply rather than fuel-related works, installation or maintenance services. It is therefore relevant to fuel distributors, commercial fuel suppliers and businesses able to provide red diesel reliably to an NHS hospital site in Hemel Hempstead. The procurement covered one requirement and identified Nationwide Fuels Ltd as the supplier selected for the diesel supply.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was handled as a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, using an approved waiver in line with the Trust’s standing financial instructions. The award date was not recorded, but the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its value is £13,812.50 excluding VAT and £16,575 including VAT. One lot was awarded in full to Nationwide Fuels Ltd. The contract is active. The selected supplier is a large business. The published outcome shows that the Trust bought diesel fuel from Nationwide Fuels Ltd through a non-competitive route rather than evaluating competing bids.

This award provides a clear example of demand from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for a short-term red diesel supply supporting a hospital unit. Competitors would need to be able to source and deliver red diesel to Hemel Hempstead Hospital, manage reliable fulfilment for an NHS customer and respond effectively to a direct award route where the Trust uses an approved waiver below the competition threshold. A credible supplier would also need the operational scale to handle fuel ordering, delivery coordination and the compliance requirements associated with supplying a healthcare estate. The result indicates that the buyer has used a large commercial fuel supplier for this requirement, giving comparable distributors and established regional or national fuel businesses a useful benchmark for capability and delivery capacity when assessing similar future demand.
