## Summary

Recently, East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust completed the procurement process for leasing and maintaining 50 non-emergency patient transport vehicles, highlighting their commitment to enhancing patient services in the East Midlands region. This initiative falls under the health industry sector, particularly classified as ambulance bodies according to CPV codes. The procurement followed a selective process, utilising a restricted procedure under the South East Coast Ambulance Vehicle Supply Framework, where MUFG (formerly LINK Group) managed a further competition. This contract, with key involvement from suppliers like De Lage Landen Leasing Ltd and TP Leasing Ltd, was officially awarded on 1st April 2026, with an extension possibility up to two additional years, encompassing an overall lease period of three years.

This tender opportunity is strategically designed for businesses specialising in vehicle conversion services, offering growth potential in ambulance conversion services within the UK. Although the framework was specifically overseen by East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust, it allows established lease firms to leverage expertise in non-emergency patient transport vehicle leasing. Large firms such as De Lage Landen Leasing Ltd and other well-versed companies in supplying adaptable and wheelchair-accessible conversions can potentially benefit from this arrangement, while smaller vehicle conversion businesses might find significant opportunities for subcontracting or collaborative efforts under Lot 7 and Lot 8 of the framework. This contract fosters advancement in vehicle leasing and conversion industries by providing a platform where seasoned and proficient leasing companies can play a pivotal role in Welsh, Scottish, English, and Northern Irish public health procurement endeavours.
