Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured eco-run connectivity DCA vehicles, classified as ambulance conversion services. The requirement is for goods involving the conversion or provision of vehicles configured for ambulance use, with connectivity and eco-run functionality. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at Unit C1 Telford Way, Wakefield, and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. The procurement is intended to support the ambulance service’s operational vehicle fleet. The named buying organisation is Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust. The requirement is therefore relevant to vehicle conversion specialists, ambulance equipment and fit-out providers, and businesses supplying connected, operationally efficient emergency-service vehicles.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust used an other procurement method, with tender submissions due by 6 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Cartwright Vehicle Conversions Limited on 15 July 2026. The awarded value is £493,816. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2027. The recorded procurement value is also £493,816. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separately identified lots. The process was evaluated as a completed procurement for ambulance conversion-related goods; the available outcome records identify the successful supplier and value but do not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from an NHS ambulance service for specialist vehicle conversion combined with connectivity and eco-run capability. A credible future competitor would need practical experience converting or fitting out vehicles for ambulance operations, understanding of emergency-service fleet requirements, and the ability to integrate reliable vehicle connectivity with systems used in service. Capability in improving operational efficiency and supporting lower-running-impact vehicles would be relevant to the eco-run element. Suppliers would also need sufficient production, project-management and aftercare capacity to deliver a complete fleet-related requirement for a public healthcare operator, rather than a standalone vehicle component. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that specialist smaller businesses can compete in this market when they can provide the necessary technical and delivery capability.
