Summary of the contracting process

Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust bought 67 Peugeot Boxer vans for conversion into large non-emergency patient transport service vehicles. This is a vehicle supply requirement rather than a conversion or patient transport operating contract: the vehicles are intended to be converted for the Trust’s NEPTS service. The buyer is Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, based in Cwmbran, and the requirement concerns motor vehicles, classified under CPV 34100000. The vehicles are light and medium commercial vans, suitable for a supplier with access to Peugeot Boxer vehicles and the ability to meet a defined fleet purchase requirement. The procurement covered one requirement and was linked to the Trust’s non-emergency ambulance transport operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, as a direct-award call-off under the CCS/GCA RM6244 Purchase of Standard and Specialist Vehicles Framework, Lot 2 for light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes. The contract was awarded to CEM DAY LTD, with one bid received, and the contract was signed on 28 July 2026. Its value is £2,647,191.83. The award covered the purchase of all 67 Peugeot Boxer vans. Evaluation was based entirely on cost. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the published outcome therefore identifies CEM DAY LTD as the selected supplier and the contract as in force.

This procurement shows established demand from Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust for a sizeable fleet of standard commercial vans to support patient transport operations. A future competitor would need dependable access to Peugeot Boxer or equivalent vehicles, the capacity to supply a coordinated fleet rather than isolated units, and a clear route to the relevant public-sector vehicle framework. The winning route was a direct award under a framework for light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes, so framework admission and compliance would be commercially important. The award attracted only one bid and no SME bids, indicating that scale, framework access and fleet-supply capability were central competitive factors. Vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers, fleet distributors and framework-approved commercial vehicle suppliers are the most closely aligned businesses.
