Summary of the contracting process

The recent contracting process overseen by the Medway NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority central government entity, culminated in awarding a contract for cardiac ambulance transport services. The process, which utilised a direct procurement method without competition due to being below the threshold, has reached the award stage with the contract being signed on 9th June 2025 and active from 10th June 2025. Located in Gillingham, the Trust has engaged ADVANCE Medical Transport Services Ltd, a large supplier based in Kent, to deliver services across the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of ambulance services, classified under CPV code 85143000.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those specialising in medical or patient transport, to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially expand their client base with NHS trusts or other health service providers. Companies that can efficiently manage logistics and ensure seamless medical transport solutions would be well-suited to compete in future similar tenders. Despite the current contract being awarded without competition, there may be room for new entrants in subsequent contract cycles as criteria and threshold considerations evolve.
