Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for the LAS Smart Messaging (Tailored Service) project, classified under CPV code 64212100 (Short Message Service (SMS) services). This project involves a two-year contract, valued at £46,800, to implement SMS comfort calling functionality for 999 and 111 call centres. The procurement process utilised the selective method, calling off from the Crown Commercial Services RM6116 Lot 3b framework agreement. The contract period runs from 27 January 2025 to 26 January 2027, with the official award date being 31 January 2025. The service will be delivered in London, United Kingdom, with key postal codes including SE1 8SD.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in delivering sophisticated SMS services and technology solutions, particularly those with experience in emergency and healthcare communication systems. While the bid was not specifically tailored towards SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises such as British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, the awarded supplier, are particularly well-suited to compete and deliver on this contract. This contract provides a stable revenue stream over a two-year period, and involvement in this project may bolster a company’s portfolio in public sector technology solutions.
