Air Ambulance fixed wing tender
The Ambulance Service of NSW has had in place a commercial contract for the provision
of air ambulance services for over 40 years. The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has provided
the contract for the past 7 years.
Traditional RFDS services to remote farming and Aboriginal communities are not affected and are funded separately by Federal and State Government. These services do not form part of the tender.
Air ambulance services are fully funded by the State Government and are different to the services provided by RFDS. Ambulance staff (flight nurses and ambulance doctors) crew the aircraft.
This tender is for aviation services only (pilots, engineers and aircraft) and it is important that these services are purchased for the best quality and value.
