What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, acting on behalf of the Southern Ambulance Services Collaborative (SASC), is seeking to establish a single-supplier Closed Framework Agreement for the supply and delivery of ambulance workshop consumables and associated goods to support the maintenance, repair and operational readiness of ambulance fleet vehicles across participating NHS ambulance trusts. The framework is intended for use by South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWAST), South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SECAmb), London Ambulance Service NHS Trust (LAS), East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) and South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS).
The framework will cover a broad range of workshop consumables and associated products including, but not limited to:
Workshop chemicals, cleaners, degreasers and maintenance products, ect.
- Not divided into lots: The Contracting Authority has considered whether to divide this procurement into lots and has concluded that lotting would not deliver the most advantageous outcome. The requirement is for a single, standardised supply solution covering ambulance workshop consumables and associated goods across all participating ambulance trusts and workshop locations.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Feb 2031, 23:59 GMT.
CPV: Accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries · Electrical materials · Fasteners · Greases and lubricants · Parts and accessories for vehicles and their engines · Specialised chemical products · Tools · Work gloves

- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “SWAST-5039-F Supply of Workshop Consumables” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
