UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust is procuring calibration, servicing and maintenance services for workshop equipment. The requirement covers workshop equipment and calibration services, supporting the reliable operation and accuracy of equipment used by the Trust. The work is to be delivered across the United Kingdom. This is a public-sector services opportunity for businesses that maintain, inspect, test and calibrate workshop equipment, rather than a supply-only contract. The procurement is presented as a single requirement covering the full service scope, so suppliers should be able to address the Trust’s workshop equipment needs through an integrated maintenance and calibration service.

The process has reached the tender stage: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries could be submitted until 14 September 2026 at 15:00, and bids were due by 21 September 2026 at 15:00. Bids must be submitted through the Atamis e-tendering portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with one optional 12-month extension available and a maximum end date of 31 October 2030. Its estimated value is £180,157.94 excluding VAT, or £216,189.53 including VAT. Evaluation is split equally between technical and social value, at 50%, and the commercial schedule, at 50%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises, as the requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs. It is likely to interest specialist workshop-equipment service providers with practical capability in calibration, planned servicing, inspection, fault diagnosis and maintenance. Suppliers should be prepared to support equipment across the United Kingdom and manage an ongoing service relationship over an initial three-year term, with the possibility of a further year. Businesses with experience maintaining varied workshop environments, producing clear service records and delivering dependable equipment performance would be well placed to assess the requirement. The equal technical, social-value and commercial evaluation means suppliers need both credible service delivery and a competitive commercial proposal.
