Patient Discharge Transport Service

NHS Humber & North Yorkshire ICB conducted a public procurement process to award a contract for the Patient Discharge Transport Service at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital within the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement, classified under Hospital and related services, was valued at £217,292 and employed the "Other - Direct Award" method. The award was finalised on 17 February 2025, with the contract period set to begin on 1 April 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2026.

This contract pertains to the services industry category and involves operations within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, in the United Kingdom. This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in non-emergency patient transport services, especially those that can manage overnight "Same Day" transports, intra-site transfers, and A&E returns. SMEs would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the project's focus on timely and efficient patient flow support.

Amvale Medical Transport Limited, an SME, was awarded this contract, indicating that similar organisations could consolidate their market presence and enhance their service delivery within the healthcare sector through such tender opportunities.
