UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust intends to procure specialist newborn transport harnesses for the secure conveyance of newborn infants to hospital by ambulance. This is a goods requirement in the medical consumables and clinical supplies sector, including dressings and related clip, suture and ligature supplies. Delivery is for use in the United Kingdom. The requirement is intended to support the safe movement of newborn patients during ambulance journeys, so businesses should be able to supply purpose-designed harnesses suitable for secure neonatal transport and use in an emergency healthcare environment.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure and has planned market engagement, but there is no invitation to tender yet. The buyer expects to use an open procedure. Market engagement is scheduled to run until 31 July 2026, with the next notice expected on 10 August 2026. The anticipated tender enquiry period is expected to end on 4 September 2026, with tender submissions expected by 11 September 2026 and an award decision by 5 October 2026. The planned contract is one lot, with an expected term from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2031. Its estimated value is £480,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT.

The work is likely to suit manufacturers, specialist medical-device suppliers and healthcare distributors with products designed for transporting newborn infants securely in ambulances or other clinical settings. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate that their harnesses are fit for purpose, secure and suitable for neonatal patients, and can be supplied reliably to support London Ambulance Service operations. Relevant experience in emergency medical equipment, patient transport, neonatal care or NHS supply chains would help suppliers understand the operational requirements. The buyer has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, creating scope for smaller specialist suppliers and collaborative bids to prepare.
