Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured a full turnkey solution for 10 electric Mercedes DCA vehicles. The requirement covers the vehicles and their conversion for ambulance use, classified as motor vehicle conversion services (CPV 50117100). Delivery is associated with the Trust’s base in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. This is a goods procurement focused on supplying completed specialist emergency-response vehicles rather than a general vehicle supply contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include ambulance vehicle converters, specialist commercial vehicle manufacturers, electric vehicle integrators and suppliers able to deliver a complete vehicle-and-conversion package for an NHS ambulance service.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 7 September 2026 at 12:00. Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust awarded the contract to Cartwright Vehicle Conversions Limited on 17 September 2026, for £1,919,000 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2027. The award is active and covers the full requirement for 10 vehicles. The published procurement records identify the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process; detailed award criteria are not provided in the procurement data.

Although this contract has been awarded, it is a useful demand signal for suppliers targeting NHS ambulance fleets and specialist emergency vehicles. A credible future competitor would need to provide a complete turnkey service covering electric Mercedes vehicle supply, ambulance conversion, integration and delivery, rather than only one component. Relevant capability includes designing and building compliant emergency-response interiors, installing specialist medical and operational equipment, managing electrical systems and ensuring finished vehicles are safe, reliable and suitable for frontline ambulance use. Suppliers should also be able to manage multiple vehicles as a coordinated fleet programme and demonstrate experience with public-sector or ambulance vehicle conversions. The route to market is a framework call-off, so framework participation and the ability to meet its commercial and technical requirements would be important.
