Summary of the contracting process

B3Living aimed to award a Framework Agreement for Arboriculture & Tree Management Services, focusing on tree-maintenance services within Hertfordshire, UKH23. However, the procurement was cancelled at the award stage despite progressing through an open procedure. This opportunity was initially intended for businesses specialising in tree management to cater to the anticipated demand as described in the Invitation to Tender (ITT).

The procurement process for the purchase of 24 double crewed ambulances by the East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust was completed through a direct award without a prior call for competition, in line with NHS Framework regulations. Located in the East Midlands, this contract, valued at £672,360 and awarded to FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES UK LTD, presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of ambulances and paramedic vehicles.
