UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS), a sub-central government public authority, involves a completed direct award contract for the purchase of an ambulance. The buyer, based in Risley, Warrington, has engaged in this procurement under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. This direct procurement, labelled "Below threshold - without competition," falls under the industry category of emergency vehicles and has been designated to be fulfilled in the UKM6 region of the United Kingdom. The process reached its award stage on 18 December 2025, with the contract being signed and set to be active from 22 December 2025 to 31 January 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of specialised vehicles, particularly those that cater to emergency services. The contract was successfully awarded to WAS UK Vehicles Ltd, an SME located in Burton-on-Trent, illustrating potential for similar SMEs to secure government contracts in niche markets like emergency vehicles. This direct awards' approach with no competition highlights opportunities for businesses with established reputations and niche capabilities to engage in agreements that are below the competitive threshold, primarily relying on their specialism and direct negotiations. Businesses in the vehicle manufacturing sector, especially those with a focus on urgent or emergency services, stand to benefit from such procurement opportunities.
