About the buyer

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides emergency and non-emergency ambulance services across Yorkshire, and buys as an NHS trust with its own procurement team. Every tender runs through Atamis, the Trust's e-procurement system, with larger opportunities also advertised on Find a Tender. Contracts follow the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and a risk-balanced approach that looks beyond price alone. Non-emergency patient transport is commissioned under the Provider Selection Regime rather than open tender. The Trust also runs its own framework agreement for patient transport subcontractors.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust's contract awards have been in medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, transport equipment and repair and maintenance.
