Summary of the contracting process

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is overseeing a procurement process titled "Secure Transport Services B" within the ambulance services industry category, specifically focusing on secure and escorted patient ambulance services for mental health care. The process is located in the UKJ region, and is currently at the award stage. This contract is set under a Provider Selection Regime with specific regulations, and does not utilise the general Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Representations by providers were required to be submitted by 2nd February 2026, with a standstill period commencing thereafter. The awarded contract has been signed on 4th February 2026.

The tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, specifically those adept at providing secure ambulance services with personnel for escorting mental health patients.

The procurement follows a limited award procedure, without a prior call for competition, suggesting a focus on selecting providers based on quality service rather than competitive bidding, offering unique opportunities for highly specialised service providers.
