## Summary

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust has completed an award process for the purchase and conversion of three minibuses intended for the Emergency Capabilities Unit. This procurement falls under the "Motor vehicles" category and involves a call-off from the CCS RM6244 Specialist Vehicles framework agreement, indicative of a selective procurement method. The contract, valued at £187,000, spans from February 2026 to February 2027. Based in London, the project was initiated with a tender that concluded on 2nd January 2026, with the award date following on 4th February 2026.

This tender offers a notable opportunity for suppliers specialising in motor vehicles, particularly those adept at vehicle conversion for emergency services. While the procurement method involved selective criteria, there is potential for large-scale suppliers to provide tailored services to public sector organisations, such as NHS trusts. Although current opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs are limited, firms operating within the United Kingdom and having significant experience in specialised vehicle provisions would find this contract beneficial for extending their market reach and strengthening ties with governmental bodies. Heathrow Truck Centre Limited successfully secured the award, showcasing their capacity for delivering such specialised procurement requirements.
