## Summary

The South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is currently engaged in the planning stage for the procurement of a Power Load Stretcher System, identified as SWAST-0461-TP-16-17. This initiative aims to trial stretcher systems for ambulances within the South West region of England. The trial will last for three months, commencing with the installation of the loaned equipment, which must be completed by the end of February 2017. The trial is slated to conclude no later than 31st May 2017, with an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the medical equipment rental or manufacturing sectors, particularly those specialising in stretcher systems or ambulance equipment. Companies that can meet the requirement for providing a trial system, as well as the subsequent installation and de-installation, will be well-suited to compete. Prospective suppliers should ensure they are prepared to engage before mid-February 2017, as new suppliers will be closed out following this date.

## Notice

We will trial the loaned system for 3 months within a 6 month period although if you wish to loan the equipment to South Western Ambulance Service for longer that would be acceptable.

Additional information: South Western Ambulance Service will not buy any equipment for the trial (although we will pay for the install and de-install), the equipment will need to be loaned and it will be returned at the end of the agreement or at a mutually agreed time. Please be aware that this Pre Market engagement will be closed to new suppliers from mid February 2017 as the trial will last 3 months and the trial end date will be 31st May 2017.
