Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust has completed a procurement process titled "Ambulance Conversions," which falls under the industry category of Ambulance conversion services. The process involved converting chassis into operational ambulance vehicles, with the buying organisation located at Waterloo Road, SE1 8SD, London, United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was awarded to Was Vehicles (UK) Limited, marking the procurement's transition to the award stage. The contract, valued at GBP 4,000,000, commenced on 27th October 2025 and will conclude on 26th October 2026. Key dates included the tender period ending on 1st September 2025, and the award being published on 19th November 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle conversion and automotive manufacturing, especially those capable of meeting the specific requirements set by the NHS trust. Although this contract was awarded to Was Vehicles (UK) Limited, other SMEs with similar capabilities could find future opportunities in government contracts that focus on building or retrofitting vehicles for emergency services. By demonstrating excellence in customised vehicle conversions and adhering to high standards, companies can strengthen their portfolio and position themselves for upcoming government procurement opportunities. The contract highlights the potential for SMEs within the UK to engage with prominent public organisations and expand their market reach.
