Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust is buying Ford Transit van conversions for use as operational vehicles. The work is vehicle conversion rather than the supply of standard, unmodified vans, and falls under motor vehicle conversion services (CPV 50117100). Delivery is associated with the Trust’s address in Waterloo Road, London, and the stated delivery location in England. This requirement is for ambulance service operations; suppliers whose business covers converting commercial vehicles into operational vehicles are the closest fit. The purchase was made through a specialist vehicles framework, specifically its specialist vehicles lot, so this is a framework call-off rather than a standalone procurement for general vehicle conversion work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Woodall Nicolson. The award was made on 29 September 2026 for £468,000. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The buying organisation selected a supplier through a selective call-off from the CCS RM6244 framework, Specialist Vehicles lot 10. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026. The stated requirement is for converting Ford Transit vans into operational vehicles. The procurement was classified as goods, although the work itself is vehicle conversion. The framework route determined the supplier selection process; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows that London Ambulance Service NHS Trust procures Ford Transit conversions to meet operational vehicle requirements, using a specialist vehicles framework call-off. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement should be able to demonstrate experience converting Ford Transit vans into dependable, purpose-built operational vehicles and the capacity to complete a defined conversion programme for an ambulance service customer. Credibility will depend on meeting the practical needs of frontline vehicle use, including producing vehicles suitable for operational deployment, rather than offering generic van fit-outs. The awarded supplier was selected through the framework’s specialist vehicles lot, so a business seeking comparable work would need a route to compete through that framework or a successor procurement route. The requirement provides evidence of a substantial, time-limited conversion project for this buyer.
