The procurement process for the "Provision of Supply of Base Vehicles" was conducted by the Crown Commercial Service, aimed at appointing a single manufacturer for the creation of NHS emergency ambulances in the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of ambulance bodies (CPV code 34211200) and was executed through an open procedure, culminating in an award on 7 April 2021, with the contract period extending from 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2023. The tender period ended on 9 February 2021, and the contract awarded was valued at approximately £60.7 million.
