What the notice says

The Scottish Ambulance Service is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of a potential future procurement requirement for the conversion, modification and fit-out of specialist operational vehicles.

This PIN is not a call for competition, does not constitute a contract notice or invitation to tender, and does not commit the Scottish Ambulance Service to commence any procurement process, award any contract or reimburse any costs incurred by suppliers in responding to this notice or participating in market engagement.
