Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured an additional remote Clinical Assessment Service to maintain safe clinical assessment capacity for 999 and NHS 111 demand. The requirement combines remote healthcare assessment with call-centre operations and medical specialist services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Wakefield. This is a health service subcontract supporting ambulance and urgent-care demand rather than a general call-handling contract. The service is intended to provide additional assessment capacity and continuity for urgent clinical activity across the Trust’s emergency and NHS 111 pathways.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an urgent, time-limited direct award to Herts Urgent Care, to ensure continuity of vital services. The award date was 21 July 2026, following a submission deadline of 17 July 2026 at noon. The awarded value is £700,000. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender is complete and the award is active. The stated procurement route was an urgent award rather than a competitive procedure, with continuity of service forming the basis for selecting the supplier.

This award shows demand for providers able to deliver remote clinical assessment at the interface between ambulance services, emergency 999 demand and NHS 111. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established urgent-care clinical operation, suitably qualified medical staff, robust remote consultation and call-centre systems, and the capacity to handle fluctuating high-volume demand safely. Experience of clinical triage, escalation, patient safeguarding, information governance and integration with NHS urgent-care pathways would be important. The buyer’s stated need for continuity indicates that dependable mobilisation, resilient staffing, proven service quality and the ability to maintain uninterrupted clinical coverage would be central to competing effectively.
