## Summary

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured vehicle hire for motor vehicles used to transport goods (CPV 34130000). The buying organisation is based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Kent. The requirement was arranged as a single vehicle-hire lot and relates to the Trust’s operational transport needs. The awarded supplier was Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited, a large UK vehicle-hire business headquartered in Egham. This is relevant to suppliers providing hire vehicles for goods transport, particularly those able to support NHS organisations and their operational requirements.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited received the award on 6 August 2026. The active contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and covers the same day, ending on 6 August 2026. Its value is £12,808.05 excluding VAT, or £15,369.66 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, covering vehicle hire and motor vehicles for the transport of goods. The recorded contract is active, and the award is active. The purchase order reference associated with the requirement is 270003970.

This award indicates demand from Medway NHS Foundation Trust for short-duration vehicle hire supporting the transport of goods. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would provide access to suitable commercial vehicles, manage bookings and vehicle availability, and deliver reliable hire services for NHS operational use. A credible competitor would need the fleet capacity and geographic coverage to support the Trust’s location in Gillingham, together with established processes for corporate customers, invoicing and responsive service. Enterprise’s selection also indicates that a large, established vehicle-hire provider was considered capable of meeting the requirement through a direct below-threshold purchase.
