About

STAFFORDSHIRE AND LANCASHIRE COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT awarded a contract to North West Ambulance Service N H S Trust for the provision of Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPTS) across Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Cumbria.

The contract, valued at £94,132,286, covers planned patient transport for routine outpatient appointments, unplanned patient transport for discharges and short notice bookings, and enhanced priority service transport for time-critical haemodialysis or oncology treatments.

This direct award extends existing contracts for 24 months from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2025, following a delay in recommissioning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The extension allows time to develop a North West strategic approach to patient transport and to incorporate the National Review of NEPTS eligibility criteria published in May 2022.
