UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, working with NTW Solutions Limited, has procured fuel card services for their vehicle fleets. The requirement covers nationwide fuel purchasing, fuel card account management and transaction reporting, together with related fleet fuel management services for the Trust under the NTW Lease Car Service Level Agreement. The purchase is for agency fuel cards and associated services, rather than vehicles or fuel supply itself. The award covers delivery across the United Kingdom; the fleet support service is described as nationwide. This requirement serves both the Trust and NTW Solutions, so suppliers need to support organisational fleet use and the Trust’s lease car arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Thomas Silvey Limited. The award was made on 23 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. Its period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2031. The contract is valued at £1.25 million excluding VAT (£1.5 million including VAT). There was one lot. The Trust selected the supplier through a selective award under a framework, without reopening competition. The published procurement data does not give the detailed evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so no specific scoring basis can be reported. The contract sets six-monthly measures for card issue, replacement and query response times; fuel card acceptance and service availability; and the accuracy of invoicing, transaction data and management information.

For suppliers assessing comparable fleet contracts, this award demonstrates demand from an NHS trust and its associated fleet services company for a nationwide fuel card service linked to both organisational vehicles and a lease car scheme. A credible competitor would need broad fuel-card acceptance, reliable card issue and replacement, responsive handling of cardholder queries, and strong account management. Accurate invoicing, transaction records and management information are also central requirements, with performance monitored at six-month intervals. The awarded supplier is a large company, indicating that the buyer selected a provider capable of delivering services at substantial scale across the UK. The route used was an award from a framework without a further competition, so access to a relevant framework may be important for suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s similar requirement.
