Summary of the contracting process

The South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust has completed the award stage of a procurement process for tyres and associated services under the title "Tyres and associated services - South East Coast Ambulance". This is part of a call-off via the RM6353 framework, with an estimated contract value of £720,000, including VAT, over a 12-month period starting from 1st October 2026. The contract covers services primarily within the services industry category (CPV code 34350000) and involves delivery to Crawley, UK (postal code RH10 9BG). The procurement method used was selective, involving call-off from a framework agreement, and the process reached its award completion with the active contract awarded to DIRECT TYRE MANAGEMENT LIMITED on 4th August 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and management of vehicle tyres, particularly those with capabilities in servicing both heavy and light-duty vehicles. While large enterprises tend to benefit more due to the NHS Trust's suitability criteria, SMEs and specialist tyre service providers could leverage such contracts for regional business growth within the procurement framework's confines. Businesses positioned as preferential suppliers in existing NHS frameworks or those aiming to become preferred suppliers could find this opportunity aligns well with strategic growth ambitions in the healthcare service support sector.
