## Summary

The procurement process led by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust for "Critical Care Network Transport" services has reached the Award stage, with the contract signed on January 26, 2026. This tender falls under the category of ambulance services and is crucial for healthcare service provision in the UKD3 region, encompassing Trafford. The contract was awarded to 360 Ambulance Service Ltd, highlighting a limited procurement method, justified by an urgent need outside regular directive scope, without a prior competitive call.

As exemplified by the successful bid of 360 Ambulance Service Ltd, there are opportunities for strategic growth through service excellence and adherence to urgent healthcare demands, positioning businesses for potential future contracts with NHS trusts across the UK.
