AZIENDA SANITARIA LOCALE PESCARA sits at the centre of a regional emergency-health service in which helicopters connect patients and specialist care across Abruzzo. Its negotiated procedure concerns a bridge arrangement for helicopter rescue, linking a time-sensitive clinical operation to a public contract with an advertised amount set before bids are assessed.

The notice is advertised at 29664000 EUR for the triennial helicopter emergency-rescue service described in its title. It was published on 2026-08-31 and closes on 2026-09-14, so the listed amount is an opportunity at the notice stage, not a payment or an awarded contract value.

Against the buyer’s 221 other notices in the stated period, the median notice is 48510 EUR. The 612 multiple therefore describes the relationship between this particular advertised amount and the buyer’s usual notice size. The next-largest listed notice is 8820400 EUR, for urgent and scheduled ambulance transport.

The ranking is heavily top-loaded: the air-rescue notice is 29664000 EUR, while the next-largest listed item is 8820400 EUR and the remaining named comparators are lower still. That separation makes the helicopter service an exceptional procurement by advertised value within the buyer’s published set, rather than a routine movement in notice size.

The mechanism matters as much as the amount. This is a negotiated procedure for a bridge service, and its advertised value is not an award. Businesses assessing the opportunity need to distinguish the amount sought in the notice from the eventual contract value; the comparison also excludes framework ceilings, as stated in the procurement information.

The air-rescue notice is an exceptional procurement by advertised value, but its amount is not an awarded contract value.

WHY IT MATTERS

A very large advertised amount can reflect the scope and urgency of a specific negotiated service without showing what will ultimately be paid. Comparing it with the buyer’s median notice and the next-largest procurement helps businesses separate an unusual requirement from the authority’s normal purchasing pattern.
