UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust, located in Nottingham, United Kingdom, has recently awarded a contract for the provision of Welfare Vehicles on a lease hire basis. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category and is intended to support ambulance crews by providing vehicles for rest and recuperation during extended handover times at acute hospitals, particularly during the winter pressure period from October to April. The contract, valued at £337,230 gross, has been awarded to DACK LINCOLN LTD as part of the NHS Trust's tender process. The contract initially covers a three-year period starting from 1st October 2025, with the possibility of two one-year extensions, potentially extending to March 2030. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of August 2025, and the prospective signing of the contract is scheduled for 5th September 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the automotive industry, particularly those specialising in vehicle leasing and welfare vehicle specifications. SMEs with expertise in supplying commercial vehicles suited for healthcare environments can seize this chance for growth, aligning their offerings with the operational needs of public health institutions. The contract's scope, covering multiple welfare vehicles for a specified period, opens up avenues for companies with flexible and scalable vehicle fleet operations to tender for similar public contracts in the future.
