## Summary

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured the hire of vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes. The requirement covers specialist vehicles and vans for the Trust’s operational needs, with delivery and use across England. The buying organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. This is a goods requirement focused on supplying vehicle-hire capacity rather than vehicle manufacture, maintenance or construction. It may therefore suit vehicle rental companies, commercial fleet operators and providers able to supply vans and specialist vehicles within the stated weight limits. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and is associated with vehicle provision across a wide geographic area rather than a single local site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Enterprise RPA Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 August 2031. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT and £56,000 including VAT. One lot was awarded and the contract is active. The evaluation route was direct award rather than a competitive tender, so the published process does not set out competing bid criteria or a scored evaluation basis. The arrangement covers vehicle hire for the full requirement, including vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes, with activity spanning England.

For a supplier assessing future NHS vehicle-hire demand, this award shows a requirement for access to both standard commercial vans and specialist vehicles, including vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes. A credible competitor would need a dependable hire fleet, the ability to provide vehicles within the required weight categories, and operational coverage across England. Fleet availability, rapid allocation or replacement arrangements, and experience supporting an NHS or similarly distributed public-service operation would strengthen a future response, although these features are not stated as formal criteria here. The award also shows that Medway NHS Foundation Trust has used a below-threshold direct route for this requirement, making awareness of the Trust’s fleet needs and procurement route commercially relevant to vehicle rental and commercial fleet businesses.
