The awarded contract aims to provide cleaning and transportation services for ambulances across various locations in the South East of England, including the regions of Crawley and London, among others, focusing on efficiency and adherence to high service standards. The contract encompasses a significant industry category of cleaning and sanitation services and was awarded on 22nd June 2026, with the contract period starting from 3rd July 2026 and lasting until 30th September 2029, with options for renewal. This award involves multiple parties including the South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and others, with Mitie Cleaning and Environmental Services Ltd awarded the contract after a competitive bidding process. This procurement presents ample opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning and logistical services, particularly those capable of complying with rigorous standards for equipment maintenance and transportation. The need for unique services, such as C1 classified drivers for transport solutions, may appeal to those businesses experienced in fleet maintenance and operational support within public health sectors. Given the gross total contract value of over GBP 118 million, this contract represents a substantial opportunity for business growth, especially for large-scale suppliers desiring to expand their footprint in government contracts and public sector services across the UK, providing a platform to contribute directly to healthcare service optimisation. ## Notice The purpose of this contract is to provide comprehensive make ready and transportation services for the Trust. This service must ensure that all service vehicles within the scope of the specification are cleaned and equipped to the required standards, and within the agreed timescales/frequency; and transport solutions are carried out to operational support requirements in an efficient manner ensuring adherence to safe and efficient delivery of services, supporting the roles of Fleet Maintenance, Operations and Make Ready. Deviations from the specification may result in compromised delivery of the front-line service and therefore directly impact on patient care. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Potential for two further 2-year extension opportunities. ### Planning Information The Trust is holding a pre-market engagement event on Friday 7th November 2025 (10am – 12.30pm), at their Banstead Make Ready Centre, SM7 2AS, where potential bidders will have the chance to comment on the draft specification and spend some time watching the make ready process.
