UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Western Railway Limited intends to procure emergency medical services at specific railway stations. The service will provide medical personnel and paramedical support for emergencies at stations across London, South East England and South West England. This is a services procurement in the utilities sector, with the railway company acting as the buyer. The requirement is focused on operational emergency response rather than the supply of medical equipment or general healthcare provision. Suppliers whose work covers station-based medical attendance, paramedic response or related emergency medical support should find the scope relevant. The requirement is arranged as a single service package covering the identified stations and geographic areas. The buyer is based in London, while delivery is expected across the three English areas described above.

The procurement is at the planning stage: South Western Railway Limited has announced an intention to procure, but this record does not invite tenders. The buyer expects to use an open procedure for an above-threshold contract in the utilities sector. The estimated value is £1,046,000 excluding VAT, or £1,255,200 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with a possible extension to 31 October 2029 and a renewal provision. The buyer expects the next notice to be published by 30 September 2026. There is one lot, covering the full requirement. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, which may help specialist providers assess whether to prepare for the later competition.

This requirement should suit organisations already able to provide qualified medical personnel and paramedical services in railway-station environments. Relevant suppliers are likely to include emergency medical services providers, ambulance or paramedic organisations, and specialist healthcare contractors with the operational capacity to cover stations across London, South East England and South West England. Businesses should prepare evidence of their ability to mobilise trained staff, respond to incidents at multiple locations and maintain reliable service coverage across a distributed rail network. Experience of working in public-facing transport, other safety-critical settings or time-sensitive emergency response would help demonstrate fit with the requirement, where held. The buyer has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable for the single lot, so specialist firms may wish to monitor the forthcoming procurement and consider delivery partners if wider geographic coverage is needed.
