Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust is in the planning stage of a procurement process for "Fuel Cards," aimed at supplying diesel fuel for operational vehicles. The procurement falls under the goods category and is valued at an estimated £4,800,000.00 gross with a net amount of £4,000,000.00. This procurement process employs an open procedure and is above threshold, indicating a significant opportunity for potential suppliers. The tender is planned to commence on 1st April 2027 and conclude on 31st March 2029. Located in London, this procurement initiative has a legal basis under UKPGA 2023/54, and the next key date is 1st November 2026, when future notices are expected.
