THE National Health Service has awarded the contract to supply fast-fit services for its 6,000-vehicle fleet to ATS Euromaster and Hi-Q Tyre Services.

The three-year deal means both companies will provide replacement tyres, batteries and exhausts to the NHS fleet. Both companies were reappointed after the business was put out to tender.

ATS Euromaster will work with 25 of the NHS' 32 Ambulance Trusts across England and Wales while Hi-Q, and its sister company Motorway Tyres and Autocentres, will work with the remaining 12 Trusts.
