Summary of the contracting process

South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust bought heating and suspension parts for its vehicle fleet. This is a vehicle-parts supply requirement, classified under CPV 34224200 for parts of other vehicles. The requirement supports the Trust’s ambulance and operational vehicle service, rather than vehicle manufacturing or general maintenance. Deliveries are associated with the Trust’s base at Nexus House, Gatwick Road, Crawley, West Sussex, postcode RH10 9BG, and the wider delivery location is the United Kingdom. The purchasing organisation is the South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement was for goods supplied through an established public-sector purchasing arrangement, with the parts requirement attached to the Trust’s vehicle operations.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from Lot 10 of the RM6244 framework, rather than as an open standalone tender. Was Vehicles (UK) Limited received the award on 8 September 2026 for GBP 1,160,000. The contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 10 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The published requirement covered heating and suspension parts, with an estimated procurement value matching the awarded value of GBP 1,160,000. The contracting route was a framework call-off, so competition was conducted among suppliers eligible to use the relevant framework lot. The award is active and covers the full requirement.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for heating and suspension parts for an ambulance service vehicle fleet, delivered through a framework call-off route. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer would need a dependable vehicle-parts supply operation, with access to the relevant heating and suspension components and the ability to support operational vehicles over a multi-year service arrangement. Credibility would also depend on experience of public-sector framework procurement and call-off competitions, reliable order fulfilment, consistent product availability, and the administrative capacity to manage deliveries for a geographically defined NHS ambulance organisation. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, so specialist smaller vehicle-parts businesses should not assume that only national-scale distributors can compete, provided they can meet the framework and service requirements.
