## Summary

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured specialist fuel tank cleaning and scaffolding services for its hospital operations. The requirement covers the specialist cleaning of fuel tanks together with scaffolding associated with that work. It is a facilities management service, classified under building and facilities management services. The buying organisation is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and the work is associated with Watford General Hospital on Vicarage Road in Watford. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing specialist fuel tank cleaning, access scaffolding, or an integrated service combining both capabilities for NHS or other healthcare estates. Suppliers focused only on general cleaning, standard building maintenance or unrelated scaffolding work may find the requirement less relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, in line with the Trust’s standing financial instructions. Adler & Allan Ltd was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £39,725.66 excluding VAT, or £47,670.79 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot for the specialist fuel tank cleaning and scaffolding services. The contract is active. The recorded procurement category is services, and the published award identifies building and facilities management services as the relevant classification.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of the Trust’s need for specialist fuel tank cleaning and scaffolding within a hospital estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate practical experience of cleaning fuel tanks safely, providing suitable access systems and scaffolding, and coordinating both activities as one controlled service. It would also need the operational capacity to work around live healthcare facilities, manage site access and safety requirements, and deliver a short, defined package of facilities management work. Businesses offering an integrated fuel-tank and scaffolding capability are better placed than firms providing only general cleaning or standalone access services.
