Summary of the contracting process

East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured heat decarbonisation works for four ambulance stations in the East Midlands. The requirement covers removing existing gas boilers and installing air-source heat pumps, with associated mechanical engineering, mechanical equipment installation, and building-services repair and maintenance (CPV 42511110, heat pumps). The procurement also covers electrical installation, wiring, heating-related electrical equipment, testing, emergency lighting and maintenance, together with broader mechanical and electrical works packages. The framework is organised for mechanical, electrical, or combined packages across the UK, although the named project delivery location is the East Midlands. This is a building-services and low-carbon heating opportunity for contractors able to manage work in operational ambulance facilities and coordinate mechanical and electrical installation.

The procurement is complete and awarded through a restricted procedure and selective framework route, with up to 50 framework participants. It was divided into 12 value-band lots: mechanical, electrical, and combined mechanical and electrical works, ranging from £50,000 to £500,000, £500,000 to £1,000,000, £1,000,000 to £3,000,000, and £3,000,000 or more. The main tender estimate was £1,000,000,000. The initial framework contracts were signed on 15 August 2023: mechanical lots were each valued at £25,000,000, electrical lots at £87,500,000, and combined lots at £137,500,000. Each framework contract has a 1,440-day period. Subsequent awards include £400,000 for fixed-wire testing, emergency lighting and small electrical works, signed 18 July 2024, and £170,000 for a further award signed 20 August 2026. Evaluation used quality and commercial or price criteria.

This requirement indicates recurring NHS demand for low-carbon heating upgrades and associated building-services work, delivered through a multi-supplier framework rather than a single provider. Credible competitors would need practical experience removing gas boilers, designing and installing air-source heat pumps, integrating new systems with existing buildings, and maintaining mechanical plant. Electrical capability is important for power supplies, wiring, fixed-wire testing, emergency lighting and related building equipment; combined mechanical and electrical delivery would support the wider packages. The buyer has used both SME and large suppliers, and the framework attracted substantial participation, including many SMEs, showing that specialist firms can compete alongside national contractors. Suppliers should be able to deliver safely in ambulance stations, manage coordinated works, and demonstrate strong quality performance as well as competitive pricing.
