I have applied section 25 of the Freedom of Information Scotland Act 2024 as this information is readily available on the Scottish Ambulance Service’s website under - Frequently Asked Questions
Please also provide the annual volume of glass items that you; replace or repair, and also the number of ADAS recalibrations that you undertake each year?
The Scottish Ambulance Service does not have a measurement of the volume of glass that we repair or replace. We also do not hold information in a way that allows us to report the number of ADAS recalibrations in a readily available format. it is for this reason we have applied section 17 of the Freedom of Information Scotland Act 2002 as information not held.
Please provide the £ value that you spent on vehicle glass replacement, repair and recalibration over the past 12 months?
In the financial year of 2023/2024 the total spend was £86,110. Information on the spend for the last financial year is currently going through an audit process and will be available in December 2025.
Please can you advise when you will be looking to go to tender for vehicle glass replacement, repair and recalibration services?
The Scottish Ambulance Service currently does not have a time for when they would put this contract to tender; we intend to continue to make use of a national contract and framework.
