Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the delivery of medical gas cylinders and associated tracking services across the West Midlands Ambulance Service FT has reached the award stage. The contract was awarded on 6th July 2026 to Medical Gas Solutions Limited T/A Flogas Medical Gases. This framework agreement, valued at £5,000,000, involves a selective procurement method suitable for goods in the medical gases industry. The contract period extends from 1st July 2026 to 30th March 2030. The procurement was carried out by the West Midlands Ambulance Service, located at Trust Headquarters - Millennium Point, Brierley Hill, DY5 1LX, UK.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in medical gases and logistics, particularly for those capable of fulfilling framework agreements. The contract's substantial value offers growth potential for companies equipped to handle large-scale deliveries and comprehensive tracking solutions. However, the opportunity is less suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the procurement's complexity and scope. Businesses within the West Midlands region with robust logistics and supply chain networks would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders.
