Summary of the contracting process

East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured refurbishment works to the roof of its ambulance facility in Welwyn Garden City. The requirement is a building refurbishment project for an ambulance-service site, rather than the purchase of vehicles or medical equipment. The work is associated with one project site in Welwyn Garden City. The Trust is the buying organisation and will use the completed refurbishment at its ambulance facility. The stated scope is limited to roof refurbishment; the procurement information does not describe specific materials, construction methods or a more detailed breakdown of tasks. This is a single-site works requirement, suited to contractors whose business includes building or roof refurbishment for public-sector premises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Axel Group Ltd, which was selected following an open competition. The award date was 23 September 2026. The awarded value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October to 31 December 2026. The tender deadline was 28 August 2026, and the deadline for enquiries was 19 August 2026. The requirement was arranged as one lot. Three bids reached the final stage. The award criteria refer suppliers to the tender documents for details, so the evaluation basis is not described in the published summary. Electronic submission was allowed. The award is active; a contract signature was scheduled for 24 September 2026.

This award shows that the Trust buys targeted refurbishment work for ambulance-service buildings, with a defined, single-site roof project rather than a wider estate programme. Contractors specialising in roof refurbishment and able to plan and deliver works at an operational public-service facility are the closest fit. Credible suppliers would need the construction skills, workforce capacity and project management to complete a focused refurbishment within a short delivery window, while coordinating work around an ambulance site. Three bidders reached the final evaluation stage, indicating competition for this scale of requirement. The award does not set out particular accreditations, technical specifications or named delivery methods, so these should not be assumed to have determined the result. For competitors, the useful signal is the Trust’s demand for discrete building-maintenance works at its ambulance locations.
