Summary of the contracting process

East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured works and services for its vehicle bay doors, motorised barriers and gates. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, reactive call-outs, ad-hoc minor works and new installations, including installation of doors and gates and repair and maintenance services. The work supports ambulance stations and other Trust facilities across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The Trust provides 999 emergency services and operates continuously across the East of England. This is a single requirement covering the maintenance and installation of access equipment used at ambulance vehicle bays, rather than general building maintenance. The selected supplier is Thoroughbred Industrial Doors Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It used an open procedure, with tenders evaluated on quality at 45% and price at 55%. Two bids were recorded and one reached the final stage. Thoroughbred Industrial Doors Limited was selected. One award records a value of £1.6 million excluding VAT (£1.92 million including VAT), dated 1 May 2026, with a standstill period ending 19 May 2026. The active contract was signed on 31 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. It may be extended by two further 12-month periods, up to 31 May 2031. The contract value is recorded as £1.8 million excluding VAT (£21.6 million including VAT).

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from an ambulance service for a specialist access-equipment contractor able to maintain, repair and install vehicle bay doors, motorised barriers and gates across a large geographic area. A credible future competitor would need in-house or managed capability for planned preventative maintenance, emergency and reactive call-outs, minor works and new installations. Operational resilience is important because the equipment supports ambulance facilities operating around the clock. Suppliers should be able to organise coverage across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, respond to faults and complete work safely in an NHS environment. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
