## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has concluded the procurement process for an emergency ambulance support service related to the Helipad Project at Ysbyty Gwynedd. Awarded on 15th April 2026, the contract involves ambulance services rendered by Bristol Ambulance EMS, with a value of £120,912.3 GBP. This procurement specifically pertained to the temporary transfer of patients between the Alternative Landing Site (ALS) and the hospital during infrastructure works. Located in Gwynedd, opportunities span regions including UKL13, UKL12, UKL11, and UKL23. Initially tendered on February 17, 2026, through an open procedure, bids closed on March 2, 2026, with a bid opening the same day.

This contract provides significant business growth opportunities in the healthcare services sector, especially for companies specialising in advanced life support capabilities and regulated ambulance operations. Businesses with robust experience in handling time-critical and high-acuity patient transfers and those compliant with HIW registration and clinical governance standards will find this sector highly lucrative. Firms with the operational resilience for daily service provision can benefit by integrating with local emergency care pathways. As the tender relied solely on quality and cost criteria, companies focusing on efficiency and superior quality services have the potential to excel.
