## Summary

Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust purchased 40 Ford Transit Custom 320 L2 H1 Limited vans for conversion into emergency medical services (EMS) single responder vehicles. The requirement is for motor vehicles and the resulting vehicles are intended for ambulance response operations in Wales. The buyer is Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, based in Cwmbran. The purchase covers the vans themselves; the procurement does not describe the conversion work as part of the supply requirement. This is a fleet supply opportunity for a vehicle manufacturer, authorised dealer, commercial vehicle distributor or supplier able to provide Ford Transit Custom vans in the specified model and quantity for use by an NHS ambulance service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a limited direct-award procedure without a prior call for competition. It was a call-off from the CCS/GCA RM6244 Purchase of Standard and Specialist Vehicles Framework, Lot 2 for light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes. Ford Motor Company Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 for £1,534,985.94 including the published contract value currency of GBP. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and the award was evaluated solely on cost, weighted at 100%. The procurement was made under the existing framework, so no separate competition was held.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust for a sizeable batch of identical light commercial vehicles to support EMS single responder operations. A credible future supplier would need reliable access to the specified Ford Transit Custom model, the production or distribution capacity to supply 40 vehicles, and the ability to meet NHS fleet procurement and delivery requirements. Framework access is commercially important because this purchase used the CCS/GCA RM6244 vehicle framework rather than an open standalone competition. The result also shows that the successful route favoured a major vehicle manufacturer and that price was the sole evaluation basis. Suppliers monitoring this buyer should therefore combine competitive vehicle pricing with framework eligibility and dependable fleet fulfilment.
