Summary of the contracting process

West London NHS Trust bought three electric vehicles for its Facilities Department, with associated vehicle servicing and maintenance support. The vehicles were provided under an existing lease arrangement. This is a fleet management and vehicle maintenance requirement, rather than a purchase of vehicles alone. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust managed the procurement on the buyer’s behalf. The requirement supports facilities operations across the Trust; the procurement information does not identify a specific delivery site. The selected supplier, Locators Limited, is based in Dorset. The recorded service is classified as vehicle-fleet management (CPV 50111100).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Locators Limited through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026, began on 6 October 2026 and runs to 17 August 2027. Its stated value is £31,260.96 excluding VAT, or £37,513.15 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the three electric vehicles and their associated service and maintenance support. The award is recorded as active; no separate award date or evaluation criteria are provided in the published contracting information.

For suppliers tracking recurring NHS facilities fleet requirements, this contract demonstrates demand for a small electric-vehicle fleet supplied through an existing lease arrangement, with ongoing servicing and maintenance included. A credible competitor would need to provide or arrange electric vehicles under lease and deliver dependable maintenance support suited to facilities operations. The selected supplier is a large company, indicating that an established provider won this requirement, although the procurement does not state specific accreditation, technical standards or experience conditions. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the result is evidence of the buyer’s purchasing approach for this contract, not an open competitive opportunity. Businesses offering only vehicle supply, without the associated lease and support capability, would be less closely aligned with the requirement.
