UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust procured at least seven portable electric vehicle chargers, supplied with three years of service and maintenance. This is a goods requirement for electrical equipment and apparatus, covering the provision and ongoing support of portable charging equipment for the Trust’s operations. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Bicester and operates as an NHS foundation trust. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are manufacturers, distributors, electrical equipment providers and specialist maintenance businesses able to supply portable EV charging units and support them throughout their service life. The requirement combines physical equipment supply with planned servicing and maintenance, so businesses offering both elements, or able to manage suitable delivery and support arrangements, are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026. It used a selective, competitive process under a framework agreement, with one completed lot. SEE SERVICES LTD was awarded the contract for a gross value of £102,382, equivalent to £85,438 excluding VAT, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. A contract signature was scheduled for 21 August 2026. The award covers the supply of the portable EV chargers and their associated service and maintenance provision. The opportunity was below the relevant threshold. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award was made through the existing framework rather than an open standalone procedure.

This award demonstrates a defined need within an NHS ambulance service for portable EV charging equipment backed by dependable aftercare. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need credible capability in portable electric vehicle charging, equipment logistics and planned service and maintenance. Strong competitors would be able to demonstrate reliable fulfilment of a multi-unit order, technical competence in electrical equipment, and the capacity to support chargers over a sustained service period. Businesses combining supply and maintenance in one delivery model may be well placed, while distributors would need dependable specialist support arrangements. The requirement also shows that a small or medium-sized enterprise can satisfy this type of framework call-off, making it relevant to focused EV infrastructure and electrical equipment providers.
