Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust has completed a procurement process for the purchase of Ford Transit chassis, which are to be used as operational ambulances. This contract, valued at £1,805,000, was awarded on 22nd May 2026 and facilitated through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement via the East of England Collaborative Hub. The contract period runs from 22nd May 2026 to 21st May 2027. The procuring entity, located in London, United Kingdom, sought goods within the motor vehicles industry category, with no provision for an extension.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large companies within the motor vehicle manufacturing and supply sector, such as the awarded Ford Motor Company Limited. Smaller and voluntary community sector enterprises may find fewer direct opportunities, given the selective procurement approach and the absence of specific suitability criteria favouring SMEs or VCSEs. Engaging in similar procurements can help businesses expand their footprint in supply-chain partnerships with public health sector organisations.
