Summary of the contracting process

The North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Vehicle Ramp Replacements" project, which falls under the goods industry category, specifically focused on jacks and vehicle hoists. Based in Bolton, UK, the Trust employed an open procurement method for this tender, ultimately awarding the contract to Calibration & Consultancy Services UK Ltd. The award was announced on 9th January 2026, with a standstill period ending on 20th January 2026, and the contract term is set to commence on 1st April 2026, extending for an initial period up to 31st March 2029, with options for two additional 12-month extensions. The contract is valued at £720,000, including potential extensions.

This tender opens various avenues for business growth, particularly for those involved in the manufacturing and provision of automobile maintenance equipment. The procurement's open procedure provides opportunities for SMEs, as evidenced by the awarding to a small to medium-sized enterprise, Calibration & Consultancy Services UK Ltd, suggesting a competitive landscape favourable to smaller businesses. Businesses specialising in technical and social value offerings and competitive cost structures could find promising prospects in similar future opportunities with public sector organisations, like NHS Trusts. The potential for extensions further enhances long-term engagement prospects for suitable suppliers.
