Notice Title

Provision of ambulances and trained crew to support London district events

Notice Description

The Army is required to organise medical cover to ceremonial and other activities. Medical cover for ceremonial events is routinely found from Service sources which provide Medical Officers (MOs), Combat Medical Technicians (CMTs) and Stretcher Bearer Teams. However, on site treatment facilities are also required to provide a suitable location for military casualties to be assessed by a MO, a holding area for the casualty until they can be returned to barracks or as transport to hospital under emergency use conditions if required. These treatment facilities cannot be provided from Service sources. Civilian sourced ambulances with suitably trained crew are therefore essential to provide the necessary on-site treatment, holding and transport facilities. This contract will only be for the provision of medical support to members of the armed forces and not for members of the public viewing ceremonial or other events.
