Final chance to have your say on ‘Scotland’s Air Ambulance’ re-procurement

March 2, 2023 by No Comments | Category Consultations, Procurement news

Last year we shared a blog letting our community know about public consultation to inform the re-procurement of its Air Ambulance Service prior to its renewal.

Air ambulance aircraft and staff.The Scottish Ambulance Service’s air ambulance operation mainly transfers patients to and from hospital from remote, rural and island communities. This includes providing air ambulance services to support ScotSTAR retrieval teams.

The aircraft used by the Air Ambulance Service are provided as part of a managed contract which is due to expire. As part of the contract review process, SAS launched a consultation and engagement exercise last year to gather feedback on this important service before air ambulance arrangements are renewed.

The consultation is now in its final feedback stages and anyone with views on the Air Ambulance Service is encouraged to get in touch if they haven’t done so already. To contribute to the consultation, please email sas.airamb@nhs.scot by 17 March 2023.

A consultation and engagement report outlining progress so far is available on the Scottish Ambulance Service website.
