Summary of the contracting process

On 10th March 2026, Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, located in Wakefield, United Kingdom, finalised a direct award contract for "Training Manikins Hazardous Area Response Team". This procurement process involved the acquisition of goods, specifically simulators, with a contract valued at £12,091.20. The procurement method was a direct award due to the uniqueness of the supply offered by the sole supplier, Ruth Lee Limited from Corwen, United Kingdom. This decision was governed by legal provisions outlined in UKPGA 2023/54 and is classified under the industry category of public authority central government. The contract is set to run from 5th March 2026 to 4th March 2027.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in high-quality training equipment, especially those providing innovative solutions for emergency services or public sector entities. As this contract employs a direct award methodology, companies with niche or exclusive products have a competitive edge. Businesses like Ruth Lee Limited, which already have established expertise in manufacturing simulators for training purposes, would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The procurement through Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust highlights the potential for suppliers to contribute to high-stakes business sectors, potentially fostering partnerships that optimise service delivery in hazardous environments.
