When this comes round again

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust has published 3 Clothing & Footwear notices, about every 18 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around March 2028.

16% of South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.

What it takes to bid this

Bid effort is not estimable from a framework ceiling — the published figure is the agreement’s maximum across every supplier and call-off, not the value of the work you would bid for. The requirements below still apply.

Typical for this category — confirm against the ITT pack

  • Show at bidComparable references / case studies
  • Hold at bidFinancial standing (accounts, often ~2× contract value turnover)
  • Hold at bidInsurance cover (PL / EL, often PI)
  • Show at bidSocial value commitments

Hold at bid = pass/fail conditions of participation. Show at bid = scored in the quality response. Plan for delivery = contract obligations from day one.
