Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust bought 47 MAN vehicles for its ambulance fleet. The purchase covered base vehicles with lightweight chassis cabs, through a call-off from a vehicle framework. The vehicles are for the Trust’s operations, with delivery associated with Crawley, West Sussex. This is a vehicle supply requirement rather than a request for ambulance operation or maintenance services.

The procurement is complete and MAN Truck and Bus UK Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 20 October 2026, for £2,562,139. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028. The Trust used a selective call-off from an existing framework for standard and specialist vehicles, so the competition was conducted through that framework rather than as an open tender. The contract covered one vehicle requirement, and the stated award value relates to the selected supplier. The earlier tender deadline was 1 September 2026. The procurement was classified as goods and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from this Trust, this award shows demand for a substantial fleet purchase of MAN vehicles, specifically base vehicles with lightweight chassis cabs for ambulance use. A credible competitor would need to supply vehicles that meet this specialist fleet requirement and have the capacity to deliver a large order over a multi-year contract period. The buyer used an established vehicle framework and a call-off route, so framework access and the ability to compete within its relevant vehicle category are important. The procurement does not evidence a requirement for ambulance services, vehicle maintenance or conversion work; suppliers should be positioned to supply the vehicles themselves.
