This procurement exercise is located in Yorkshire and the Humber and has undergone a recent amendment, extending the selection questionnaire (SQ) deadline to allow additional contracting authorities to join. Key milestones include the Tender Live phase on 18 September 2017 and the ITT return deadline set for 27 October 2017. The projected contract value has increased to approximately £30 million over the initial five-year term, with an option for a two-year extension. This tender presents a substantial business opportunity for companies specialising in medical transport services. Firms that are equipped to manage the logistics of non-emergency medical transport, especially those with experience in working with health authorities, will be well-positioned to compete. The procurement process is particularly inviting for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, as the emphasis on flexibility and quality service delivery aligns with their capabilities. ## Notice Further to advert previously published for this opportunity, NHS Vale of York CCG is now extending the SQ deadline based on the change in requirements listed below: The initial SQ documentation states the following: Document 2- MOI-Selection Questionnaire states: "2.1 Background and Context to the Procurement.
