Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust purchased Ford Custom Transit vans for operational use. The requirement is for motor vehicles to support ambulance service operations, with delivery associated with London, including the buyer’s address at Waterloo Road, London, SE1 8SD. The purchasing organisation is London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, which is both the buyer and the organisation using the vehicles. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or works contract. The procurement concerns the supply of Ford Custom Transit vans specifically, so businesses focused on commercial vehicle supply, fleet provision or related vehicle distribution would find the subject relevant. The procurement was made for operational use by the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 28 August 2026 to FORD MOTOR COMPANY LIMITED. The awarded value is £275,000. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 18 August 2027. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the GCA Framework RM6244, Lot 2, with direct purchase through that framework. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The purchase was treated as a goods procurement for motor vehicles. The award is active, and the tender states that there is no opportunity to extend. Suitability was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. There was one awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined fleet requirement from London Ambulance Service NHS Trust for Ford Custom Transit vans used in operational activity. A supplier seeking to compete when the requirement returns would need to provide the specified Ford commercial vehicles and have the capacity to fulfil a substantial vehicle order for an NHS ambulance service. Access to the relevant purchasing framework, or a route into any successor arrangement, would be important because this procurement was completed as a framework call-off rather than through an open standalone tender. The selected supplier was a large vehicle manufacturer, indicating that scale, reliable fleet supply and the ability to support operational vehicle procurement are relevant competitive strengths. Businesses without framework access or commercial vehicle supply capability are less well matched to this requirement.
