The stages of the evaluation process are detailed within the procurement documents.

The London Ambulance Service (LAS) requires Third Party Ambulance Services. Bidders must be able to provide ambulance services for both bariatric and standard patients and be able to respond to all types of 999 calls, within the area covered by the LAS, which is approximately the geographical area within the London boroughs. The service shall be 'paramedic led' meaning that the most senior clinician on the vehicle for majority of the vehicles provided shall be a qualified Paramedic.

The service will be divided into two Lots with separate contracts being awarded to cover the North and South of London. Whilst bidders may submit a bid for both Lots, they will only be awarded a contract for one Lot, to maximise business continuity and resilience.

It is envisaged that 6 vehicles will be required under each Lot within a 24 hour period (7 days per week, 52 weeks per year) although this may increase for short periods where there is particularly high demand for ambulance services. ## Lots (2) ### Lot 1: Lot 1 - North London - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 85143000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Estimated Value:** £20,000,000 - **Description:** This Lot shall provide bariatric and standard ambulance emergency units (AEU) services to cover predominately the North of London, using the Thames river and the M4 motorway as the boundary between North and South.
