Why this framework matters to you

The NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub is utilising the GCA framework agreement for Purchase of Standard and Specialist Vehicles (RM6244) for conversion of base vehicles to double crewed ambulances (DCAs). The mini framework appoints suppliers that trusts can order conversions under Lot 10.

Please note that Lots 1 and 2 have an initial term of 3 years with an extension of 1 x 12 months. Lot 3 has a period of 2 years, with no option to extend, so will end on the 16th September 2026.

Choosing a Hub framework isn’t about ticking a box – it’s about unlocking better outcomes, faster.

Tailored to you: Award options that fit your timelines, service requirements and organisational context.

Impact that matters: Suppliers who understand the unique challenges of public and health sector organisations, delivering measurable value, efficiency and improved outcomes.
