Summary of the contracting process

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed a procurement process for operational services concerning the Mobile Macular Unit. This project, situated in the South East of the United Kingdom, falls under the specialist vehicles industry category, particularly focusing on the repair, maintenance, and associated services of such vehicles. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was awarded on 14th August 2025, following the tender period's conclusion on 6th August 2025. The contract period spans from 7th August 2025 to 6th August 2026. The awarded contract, valued at £190,274.92, is intended to ensure the continued operation and maintenance of this vital mobile unit.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle maintenance and operational services, particularly those with experience in specialised vehicles like medical outreach units. Though the procurement method involved a selective process, companies within this niche area can benefit from similar future tenders by aligning with framework agreements or forming partnerships with larger entities like EMS Group Solutions Ltd, which was awarded the contract. Such collaborations can help businesses increase their visibility and reliability within the healthcare service support sector, facilitating growth and potential future engagements. This specific procurement is less suited for SMEs or VCSEs due to the project's scale and their ineligibility as determined by the buyer's requirements.
