UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust bought warehouse trucks for its Meteor Park warehouse. The requirement covers trucks used within the warehouse and is classified as goods; the specific equipment is forklift trucks (CPV 42415110). Delivery is in Birmingham, England. The buyer is a hospital foundation trust, and the procurement concerns its warehouse operations at Meteor Park.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Jungheinrich UK Ltd. The award was made on 1 September 2026, with a value of £166,413 excluding VAT (£199,695 including VAT). The contract period runs from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2031. The purchase was handled as a direct award rather than an open competition. The stated rationale was that changing supplier would bring significant additional costs and operational risks beyond replacing the trucks, because existing infrastructure would also need replacement. The process consisted of one lot. The award record lists the supplier’s status as pending.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement from this trust, credibility will depend on providing warehouse forklift trucks that can work with the buyer’s existing infrastructure and avoid costly operational disruption. The direct award rationale indicates that continuity with installed equipment and systems was a key consideration, not simply the replacement vehicles themselves. A competitor would need to demonstrate compatibility, dependable support and a practical transition plan that addresses the risks of changing supplier. The five-year contract indicates a sustained warehouse equipment requirement at Meteor Park. Suppliers with the capacity to supply and support trucks over a multi-year period, and evidence that their equipment can integrate into an established warehouse operation, are best placed to meet a similar requirement when it next arises.»} расписoreskaiҟәы 天天乐?
