Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South West Yorkshire Partnership Teaching NHS Foundation Trust procured non-emergency secure patient transport services. The requirement covers the planned transport of patients who need secure arrangements but do not require emergency ambulance services. It is a transport services contract, intended to support the Trust’s patient care operations in the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is responsible for providing the transport service associated with this requirement. The procurement is relevant to operators with experience in secure patient transport, non-emergency healthcare transport, patient handling and working within NHS service environments. It may also suit organisations able to manage scheduled journeys, safeguarding requirements and the operational coordination needed to transport patients safely between healthcare or other approved locations.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure and a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 16 May 2025 at 12:00. South West Yorkshire Partnership Teaching NHS Foundation Trust awarded the contract to 365 Group Ltd on 1 April 2026. The awarded value is £585,998 GBP, with the procurement’s estimated range stated as £351,599.39 to £585,998 GBP. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separate published lots. The opportunity was classified as services and transport services. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of demand from an NHS mental health and care provider for secure, non-emergency patient transport. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable transport operations, trained staff and robust arrangements for patient safety, safeguarding, confidentiality and secure movement. Experience supporting healthcare organisations and coordinating scheduled patient journeys would be important, as would the capacity to deliver a consistent service across the Trust’s operating area. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable vehicles, suitable journey planning, incident management, regulatory compliance and continuity of service. The successful supplier’s framework-based route also shows that access to an appropriate framework can be commercially important.
