## Summary

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust bought non-emergency and high-dependency patient transport services for its healthcare operations in Leicester. The requirement is for the transport of patients who do not need emergency ambulance response, including people needing a higher level of support during journeys. The tender describes the service broadly as patient transport and classifies it as ambulance services (CPV 85143000). The delivery address is in Leicester, although the published item also gives the United Kingdom without further location detail. The buyer is the NHS Trust, and the selected provider is Amvale Medical Transport Limited. This is a healthcare transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles or equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Amvale Medical Transport Limited. The award date was 30 November 2025, and the contract period runs from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2028. The awarded value is £11,850,973.23. The procurement used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The original submission deadline was 30 November 2025 at 12 noon. The estimated procurement value ranged from £8,888,229.92 to £11,850,973.23. The requirement was treated as one service, with no lots identified. The Trust marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are included in the published data, so the basis for selecting the provider cannot be described further.

For patient transport providers, this award shows recurring demand from University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust for both routine non-emergency journeys and transport requiring higher-dependency support. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the operational capacity to deliver patient journeys reliably across the Trust’s service area, with staff and processes suited to patients who need more support than standard transport provides. The scale of the award and the buyer’s decision to use a framework call-off point to a requirement suited to an established supplier able to meet a substantial, multi-year service commitment. Providers should be prepared to compete through a relevant framework route and to evidence dependable service delivery for an NHS trust. The buyer has marked this requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
