Provision of Private Ambulance Services

Tender description

The HSE invites responses from suitably qualified organisations for appointment to a Framework Agreement for Private Ambulance Services providing a high-quality transport service for public HSE patients; strictly on an if and when required basis (as deemed by the HSE); for the following: 1. Ad hoc private ambulance services, where deemed necessary and required by the HSE, in accordance with Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council’s (PHECC) Standards. For the avoidance of doubt, ‘ad hoc’ means on an ‘as required’ basis. The scope of services is not limited to normal working hours. Successful tenderers may be requested to provide transfer services outside of normal working hours. It will be a requirement of the contracts that arise from this process that the Lead Provider on each Lot will be required to provide an immediate service – the scheduling of service calls is not possible for this contract. 2. Dedicated private ambulance services within a specific geographic area or attached to a specific facility, where deemed necessary and required by the HSE in accordance with PHECC Standards.
