Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust bought non-emergency patient transport services, including passenger transport vehicles with drivers, for its patients. The requirement relates to Harlow and the Trust’s services; the procurement data does not identify further delivery locations or describe specific journeys, patient groups or service standards.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Access Anyone Ltd through a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, under a waiver. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 7 July to 30 September 2026. Its stated value is £79,709 excluding VAT and £95,650.80 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is active. The available procurement details do not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements; the route was a waiver rather than a competitive evaluation.

For suppliers considering this Trust’s future non-emergency patient transport requirements, this award demonstrates demand for vehicles with drivers to transport patients. A credible competitor would need to show it can provide patient transport reliably and at the scale required by a hospital trust, with suitable vehicles and drivers. The procurement was handled as a below-threshold direct award under a waiver, so this outcome does not establish a competitive scoring model or stated supplier qualifications. Access Anyone Ltd, recorded as a large supplier, was selected. The requirement is specific to non-emergency patient transport for The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust; relevant experience should therefore centre on delivering that service for a healthcare buyer.
