Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust bought the conversion of 30 Fiat Ducato vehicles into National Ambulance DCA vehicles. The work is specialist ambulance vehicle conversion, covering a defined fleet rather than general vehicle supply or routine maintenance. The procurement is classified as ambulance conversion services (CPV 50117200), although its main category is goods. Delivery is associated with Wakefield, Yorkshire and the Humber. This requirement is relevant to businesses able to convert Fiat Ducato vans to the National Ambulance DCA specification and deliver vehicles for the Trust’s ambulance service. The buyer is Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 July 2027. Cartwright Vehicle Conversions Limited was selected, with an awarded contract value of £2,861,384. The award date was 8 July 2026. The requirement was for 30 vehicle conversions; no lots or separate supplier awards are recorded. The selection and evaluation criteria are not stated in the available process information, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described more specifically.

This award demonstrates a substantial, fleet-scale requirement from Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust for converting Fiat Ducato vans into National Ambulance DCA vehicles. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need proven capability in ambulance conversions and the capacity to deliver multiple vehicles to a defined specification for an NHS ambulance operator. The selected supplier, Cartwright Vehicle Conversions Limited, is recorded as an SME, showing that this scale of specialist work was undertaken by a smaller business. The procurement was placed as a call-off from a framework agreement, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. The evidence concerns ambulance conversion for this Trust, rather than general vehicle conversion.
