UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust led a collaborative procurement for workshop equipment servicing, maintenance and repairs on behalf of the Trust, South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement covers fixed and mobile garage equipment that the authorities own or lease, including calibration and both planned and reactive work. Equipment is operated under LOLER and PUWER regulations. Delivery covers London and areas across southern England, including South East and South West England. The work is repair and maintenance services for ambulance service workshop equipment.

The procurement has been awarded through an open procedure, following a single-lot competition. Calibration Engineering Services Ltd and JHM Butt & Co Ltd were selected jointly on 24 September 2026. The award is valued at £745,000 excluding VAT (£894,000 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2030. Bids were assessed on technical quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Seven bids were received, including three from SMEs. The tender closed on 6 August 2026, after the enquiry deadline of 23 July 2026. The contract specifies payment within 30 days.

For suppliers preparing for similar work with these ambulance services, the award indicates a requirement for teams able to calibrate, service, maintain and repair a varied portfolio of fixed and mobile garage equipment. Credible providers will need to plan for both scheduled maintenance and responsive repairs, and demonstrate they can support equipment operated under LOLER and PUWER requirements. Delivery across London and southern England calls for sufficient geographic coverage and capacity to serve multiple ambulance trusts under a collaborative arrangement. The evaluation placed greater weight on technical quality than price, so relevant technical capability and a convincing service approach matter alongside competitive costs. The contract included one combined lot and attracted several bids, including SME participation; suitable smaller specialists may therefore be credible where they can demonstrate the necessary breadth and delivery capacity.
