Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of Mercedes Xentry Diagnostic kits, under the title "LAS - Mercedes Diagnostic Kits." This contract is classified under the CPV category "Instruments for vehicles," indicating its relevance to automotive diagnostic technology. The procurement, conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement (GCF Contract RM6244), concluded with the award stage. The contract was awarded to MERCEDES-BENZ UK LIMITED with a value of £128,000, covering the period from 21st August 2026 to 20th February 2030. The delivery location is specified as London, United Kingdom, with key activities expected at the London Ambulance Service premises on Waterloo Road. Although the procurement status is complete, indicating the award has been finalised, businesses should note that this opportunity was selective in nature and does not offer extension options.

For businesses operating within the automotive diagnostics sector, particularly those supplying or servicing vehicle diagnostic instruments, such tenders present potential growth avenues through associations with prominent public organisations like the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Large-scale suppliers, in particular, may find selective procurement processes tied to framework agreements advantageous, as these often call for specific competencies and solutions that meet stringent governmental requirements. While small and VCSE enterprises may not have been suitable for this specific award, similar future opportunities might be aligned if they meet qualification needs for larger framework synergies.
