Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust bought Ford Luton vans for non-operational use. This is a vehicle supply requirement, rather than a purchase of operational ambulance vehicles or a vehicle servicing contract. The vans are for delivery in London, with the tender identifying the Trust’s Waterloo Road address in SE1. The procurement was made directly through the Crown Commercial Service’s RM6244 vehicle framework, under its vehicle supply lot. The named supplier, Ford Motor Company Limited, is based in Essex. The requirement is therefore relevant to vehicle manufacturers and suppliers able to provide Ford Luton vans through the relevant framework route, rather than suppliers offering unrelated vehicle types or services.

The procurement is complete and Ford Motor Company Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 19 October 2026, at a value of £74,000. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with no extension option. The Trust used a selective procedure: a direct call-off from an existing framework, rather than an open competition. The original response deadline was 3 August 2026. The requirement was not divided into lots, and the framework’s vehicle supply lot was used. The award data identifies the contract value and the selected supplier; no separate scoring or evaluation criteria are stated for this framework call-off.

For suppliers assessing future demand from London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, this award shows a specific requirement for Ford Luton vans for non-operational use, sourced through a Crown Commercial Service vehicle framework. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified Ford van type and be able to sell through the applicable framework route; a general vehicle supplier without access to that route would not match the procurement model. The Trust marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, and the selected supplier is a large company. This points to a procurement suited to established vehicle manufacturers or framework suppliers able to fulfil a vehicle order for a public-sector fleet, rather than specialist service providers or suppliers focused on operational emergency vehicles.
