## Summary

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured the supply of red diesel for the Vanguard Unit at HHH Endoscopy. The requirement is for diesel fuel, classified under CPV 09134200, as a goods purchase rather than a service or works contract. The buying organisation is the Trust, whose main address is Watford General Hospital in Watford. The supplied fuel is for use at the Vanguard Unit at HHH Endoscopy, linking the requirement to an NHS hospital operational setting. The procurement covered one lot and was awarded to Nationwide Fuels Ltd, a large fuel supplier based in Bury. Businesses operating in commercial fuel supply, diesel distribution and delivery to healthcare sites are the closest fit for this requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Nationwide Fuels Ltd received the award for the single lot. The Trust described the route as a direct award, with the procurement method recorded as a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 1 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £29,900 excluding VAT and £35,880 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. The published requirement identifies the product as red diesel for the Vanguard Unit at HHH Endoscopy. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. No separate award date or detailed quality, technical or price weighting is recorded in the process data.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the opportunity provides a clear example of a hospital trust buying a defined fuel product for a specific clinical-site operation through a short, below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need reliable access to red diesel, compliant storage and distribution arrangements, and the capacity to deliver consistently to an NHS hospital setting. It would also need to respond effectively to a limited competition or direct-award route, understand the Trust’s operational requirements and provide clear product, delivery and commercial information. Nationwide Fuels Ltd’s selection indicates that established fuel-distribution capability and the capacity associated with a large supplier were relevant to satisfying this requirement.
