Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust is procuring specialist transport harnesses for the secure conveyance of newborn infants to hospital. The requirement is for goods used in ambulance services, with purchasing also available to ambulance trusts across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and to the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service. The named participating organisations include North East, North West, Yorkshire, West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England, South Western, South Central and South East Coast ambulance services, alongside London Ambulance Service. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The harnesses are intended to support the safe movement of newborn patients during ambulance transport. This is a multi-trust NHS supply opportunity rather than a general medical consumables contract.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot competition, with electronic submission allowed in English. The deadline for enquiries was 21 September 2026 at 17:00, and the deadline for submitting offers is 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The expected award decision date is 5 October 2026. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2031. The estimated value is £650,000 excluding VAT and £780,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Tender instructions and documents are available through the Atamis procurement portal under reference C458909.

This opportunity suits manufacturers and specialist medical-equipment suppliers able to provide harnesses designed for newborn patient transport and secure ambulance use. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their products meet the operational needs of ambulance services, including safe handling and reliable use during conveyance to hospital. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so participation is not limited to large national suppliers. Businesses should be prepared to supply multiple NHS ambulance organisations across the United Kingdom and to support a long-term, multi-trust supply arrangement. Relevant experience in neonatal, paediatric, emergency-care or ambulance equipment would help suppliers address the quality-led evaluation.
