UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, procured power tools as goods. The requirement concerned ending an existing lease for power tools, settling outstanding extension charges and transferring the equipment covered by the lease to the Trust. The equipment is for the Trust’s use in the United Kingdom. This is a narrowly defined requirement involving an existing leased asset base rather than a new supply of general-purpose tools. Businesses relevant to this type of work include power-tool suppliers, equipment lessors and firms able to manage the financial and operational arrangements involved in bringing leased equipment into a public-sector organisation’s ownership or control.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to De Lage Landen Leasing Limited. It used a direct award below the threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026, with a period from 15 September 2026 to 16 September 2026. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one requirement: the termination of the existing power-tool lease, payment of outstanding extension charges and transfer of the leased equipment to Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. The selected supplier is a large organisation specialising in leasing, making this an outcome based on a direct contractual resolution rather than a competitive evaluation of multiple bids.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the outcome demonstrates demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for managed power-tool leasing and for support when leased equipment is transferred at the end of an arrangement. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need access to, or knowledge of, power-tool equipment; experience structuring and closing leases; and the capacity to reconcile extension charges, contractual balances and asset ownership or transfer. Relevant capability also includes maintaining clear equipment records and completing a short, controlled handover to an NHS organisation. Leasing companies, tool distributors with finance capability and asset-management providers are the closest commercial comparators for this buyer’s requirement.
