UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for the "Patient Transport - Ambulance Hire" contract, focused on hiring ambulance vehicles to provide patient transport services. This procurement falls under the services category within the healthcare industry and is located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UKC22. The process reached the award stage with a contract issued on 10th October 2025. The contract officially started on 20th October 2025 and is set to end on 19th October 2026, with the option for a 12-month extension. Conducting the procurement via a limited method, this process permitted limited competition due to being below the threshold, aligning with the "lightTouch" regime.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in vehicle hire services, particularly those providing specialised vehicles such as ambulances. Mistral Specialist Vehicles Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in London, successfully secured the contract, which indicates that SMEs within the specialised vehicle sector are well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities. Businesses capable of providing custom transport solutions and possessing the agility to meet specific healthcare transportation needs would be well-suited to engage with such public procurement opportunities.
