Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust has initiated a procurement process for secure patient transport services, specifically focusing on mental health, under the project title "Secure Patient Transport". This process falls within the ambulance services category and is located in Wolverhampton, UKG39 region, at New Cross Hospital. As of the award stage, this procurement follows a limited method, indicating a direct award procedure without prior publication of a competition call. The procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award notice was published on 14th July 2026, marking the start of a standstill period ending on 24th July 2026. The contract, valued at £100,000, is intended for Pegasus Medical (1808) Limited, but the formal award is pending within the procurement framework outlined.

This tender represents a strategic growth opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare transportation, particularly those adept at providing mental health patient services. Firms capable of operating within regulatory frameworks specific to NHS procurement and those with experience in direct award procedures could find this beneficial. The requirement is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises like Pegasus Medical, with expertise in specialised ambulance services. Businesses looking to engage with NHS Trusts on similar niche segments of healthcare services will find this tender a valuable case study. With a focus on bespoke service provision rather than general competition, the opportunity leverages direct relationships and adaptability to specialised medical transport needs.
