## Summary

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust commissioned make-ready optimisation works across its buildings within the site boundaries. The requirement is building construction work, covering various locations in London, including the Trust’s site at Waterloo Road. Make-ready work supports the preparation of ambulance resources for operational use; the stated scope is optimisation works rather than a broader building programme. The buyer is London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, and the selected supplier was Coniston Limited. The work is relevant to building contractors able to deliver make-ready improvements across multiple locations within an ambulance service estate.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Coniston Limited on 12 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £423,120. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The Trust used a limited competitive quotation procedure below the procurement threshold. The original tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was treated as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. The stated suitability assessment says the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The process data does not set out a separate scored evaluation formula or detailed award criteria.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that London Ambulance Service NHS Trust purchases make-ready optimisation work for its buildings, across multiple locations within its site boundaries. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need construction capability suited to improving or adapting operational buildings, and the capacity to coordinate delivery across an ambulance service estate. The procurement’s below-threshold competitive quotation route indicates the buyer used a quotation-based competition for this requirement. The Trust’s stated SME suitability position means smaller firms should assess carefully whether they can meet the scale and delivery expectations directly; a suitably capable principal contractor may need to organise delivery across the locations involved. Experience with work in operational healthcare or emergency-service premises would be relevant to demonstrating that the work can be delivered in a live service environment, although no such accreditation or experience requirement was stated.
