Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured Ford vehicle parts for its workshops to use when repairing vehicles. The requirement also includes some specialist repairs carried out by the supplier. This is a supply contract for vehicle parts, with an associated repair service, for the Trust’s ambulance fleet and other vehicles. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s Waterloo Road address in London (SE1). The procurement was made through a government framework that allows public bodies to buy vehicle parts. The requirement is specific to Ford parts and related repair work, rather than a general vehicle maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Ford Motor Company trading as Parts Plus. The award was made on 20 October 2026, at a value of £1,550,000. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2030, with no extension option. The Trust used a selective call-off from the GCA RM6244 framework agreement, rather than running an open tender. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The data does not describe a separate scoring or evaluation basis beyond selection through the framework.

For suppliers who did not secure this contract, the award demonstrates that London Ambulance Service NHS Trust buys Ford parts for workshop repairs and uses a framework call-off route for this requirement. A credible competitor would need to supply Ford vehicle parts reliably and support the Trust’s workshop repair operations, including the capacity and expertise to undertake specialist repairs. Suppliers should be equipped to serve a public-sector fleet operator and to meet the requirements of the relevant vehicle-parts framework. The award went to Ford Motor Company trading as Parts Plus, indicating that a supplier able to provide Ford-specific parts and related repair capability was selected. The Trust’s stated unsuitability for SMEs suggests that competitors should assess whether they have the scale and resources to meet this requirement.
