## Summary

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board appointed a provider for non-emergency patient transport for renal patients across South Yorkshire. The service covers transport for the South Yorkshire population and falls within ambulance services. It is healthcare transport rather than emergency ambulance provision, serving patients who need travel connected with renal care. The buyer is NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield. The appointed supplier is EMED GROUP LIMITED, a large organisation based in Hunslet. The requirement is an existing service delivered by an existing provider, indicating an established operational service rather than a new transport model. Businesses relevant to this requirement include patient transport operators with the capability to organise and deliver reliable non-emergency journeys for renal patients across the South Yorkshire area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to EMED GROUP LIMITED under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. It used a limited procedure: an award without prior publication of a call for competition, based on a framework agreement without competition. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029, with an optional two-year extension. Its stated lifetime value, including the extension, is £20,301,655. The award covered one requirement for South Yorkshire. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with quality weighted at 100% and cost at 0%, using the criteria described in the framework agreement. One bid was recorded. The award remains active and the contract remains active.

This award shows sustained NHS demand for renal non-emergency patient transport at a substantial regional scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate a dependable patient transport service across South Yorkshire, with the workforce, vehicles, scheduling systems and management controls to support renal patients consistently. The emphasis on quality rather than cost indicates that service standards, patient experience, reliability, safeguarding and continuity would be central to competing effectively through the relevant healthcare procurement route. Experience of delivering an established service for an NHS or similarly regulated healthcare setting would strengthen a supplier’s position. Providers should also be able to demonstrate the operational resilience and geographic coverage needed to manage recurring patient journeys across the whole South Yorkshire population.
