Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "YAS 28 2025_26 (DA Non-FW) Stretcher Vehicle for Bluelight Use" has been completed by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, a public authority central government entity located in Wakefield, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically targeting ambulances and special-purpose motor vehicles. This procurement was executed through a direct award method due to there being only one suitable supplier capable of meeting the timeline. The contract was signed on 6 May 2025 and it is set to run from 7 May 2025 to 5 May 2026, with the award being made to BLUELIGHT UK.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of emergency vehicles, notably for those with the technical capability to deliver specialised stretcher vehicles for blue-light use. As the procurement required direct awarding, it signifies an opportunity for businesses to focus on developing niche capabilities that can meet specific technical and time-sensitive requirements. Companies that are classified as large scale, similar to BLUELIGHT UK, are particularly well-positioned to compete in this sector, although SMEs with flexibility and specialised products could also find avenues for growth by targeting collaborations or subcontracting roles in similar contracts.
