UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust buys gas oil for its heating systems and diesel generators. Deliveries are intended to keep hospital heating running and provide fuel for generators that power essential hospital systems during gas or electricity supply failures. The requirement is for liquid-fuel supply and delivery, rather than installation or maintenance of heating or generator equipment. The contract was placed under the Nottinghamshire lot of the ESPO liquid fuels framework. The listed delivery areas cover Nottingham, North Nottinghamshire, South Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. Suppliers focused on reliable bulk gas-oil supply and delivery to hospital sites are closest to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MB Energy Limited on 12 October 2026. The Trust made a direct award through the ESPO 301_26 liquid fuels framework, using its Nottinghamshire lot; the call-off was not competitive. The award value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a maximum extent date of 31 July 2028 and provision for extension. The award covers gas-oil deliveries. The published procurement information identifies a single lot and does not set out separate evaluation criteria for this framework call-off.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust for dependable gas-oil deliveries to support heating and emergency diesel generation. Competitors would need to show they can supply the required fuel consistently and deliver to hospital locations across the stated areas, where interruptions could affect essential services. The selected supplier was MB Energy Limited, a small or medium-sized business, showing that the requirement was awarded to an SME. The route used was a call-off from the ESPO 301_26 liquid fuels framework, specifically its Nottinghamshire lot, rather than a competitive standalone tender. Suppliers seeking comparable work would therefore need relevant framework access as well as the ability to serve this Trust’s operational fuel requirement.
