Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured medical equipment comprising YAS 101 (DA FW) scoops and spineboards. These are goods rather than services or works, within the wider medical equipment category (CPV 33100000). Delivery is associated with the Trust’s premises at Unit C1 Telford Way, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of ambulance and patient-handling equipment, particularly businesses able to supply both scoop stretchers and spineboards as a coordinated equipment requirement. The named buyer is Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, an NHS ambulance service organisation serving Yorkshire and the surrounding area.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Ferno (UK) Limited on 22 July 2026 for GBP 36,119.35. The awarded contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for goods, with the requirement treated as a single equipment purchase rather than divided into separately described lots. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, indicating that the buyer’s stated route and requirements were not specifically designed for those supplier groups.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust’s demand for specialist ambulance patient-handling equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply scoops and spineboards, understand the operational needs of an ambulance service, and be able to transact through the relevant framework call-off route. The requirement suits established medical-equipment manufacturers and distributors with dependable product availability, fulfilment capacity and experience supplying public-sector or emergency-care customers. The stated SME and VCSE suitability settings suggest that smaller or community-sector businesses should assess their framework access, delivery capability and ability to meet the buyer’s procurement route before pursuing a similar opportunity.
