## Summary

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB (BNSSG ICB) has awarded an 18-month contract for Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPTS) to University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW). This urgent contract, commencing on 1st October 2024 and running until 31st March 2026, was necessitated by the unforeseeable insolvency of the previous supplier. The total value of this contract is £7,997,565, and it has been awarded under Regulation 14 of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023 Regulations. The procurement category is health and social work services, specifically ambulance services, within the UKK region. This contract ensures the continuity of essential services while BNSSG ICB conducts a further procurement process to secure a long-term provider.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in the health and transport sectors, particularly those experienced in providing patient transport services. With an urgent contract awarded due to unexpected circumstances, there is likely to be an increased focus on reliability and quality assurance from potential suppliers. Companies specialising in non-emergency transportation services and those with quick mobilisation capabilities are well-suited to compete in subsequent procurement stages. The provider selection under Regulation 14 showcases the importance of maintaining service continuity, thereby presenting a crucial area for businesses that can demonstrate resilience and efficiency in emergency procurement situations.
