Notice Information
Notice Title
Third Party Ambulance Services: Bariatric & AEU
Notice Description
For the avoidance of doubt this tender will be conducted as a 'Light Touch Regime' procedure as the service required falls under Regulation 74 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The stages of the evaluation process are detailed within the procurement documents.<br/><br/>The London Ambulance Service (LAS) requires Third Party Ambulance Services. Bidders must be able to provide ambulance services for both bariatric and standard patients and be able to respond to all types of 999 calls, within the area covered by the LAS, which is approximately the geographical area within the London boroughs. The service shall be 'paramedic led' meaning that the most senior clinician on the vehicle for majority of the vehicles provided shall be a qualified Paramedic. <br/><br/>The service will be divided into two Lots with separate contracts being awarded to cover the North and South of London. Whilst bidders may submit a bid for both Lots, they will only be awarded a contract for one Lot, to maximise business continuity and resilience.<br/><br/>It is envisaged that 6 vehicles will be required under each Lot within a 24 hour period (7 days per week, 52 weeks per year) although this may increase for short periods where there is particularly high demand for ambulance services.
