Danvers Awards New Ambulance Contract To Northeast

DANVERS, MA — Danvers will have a new 911 emergency services ambulance provider starting on July 1.

The town said on Thursday that the ambulance contract starting July 1 was awarded to Northeast Regional Ambulance Service — which has provided service in Beverly since 2006 — after what it called a "competitive procurement process with multiple regional vendors."

"Based on a review of the proposals, we found their operational plan to be best suited to provide quality EMS emergency response to the citizens and visitors of Danvers," said Danvers Fire Chief Robert Amirault, adding that Northeast has "an impeccable reputation."

The Middleton-based Northeast Ambulance Service was founded in 2006 and will have
ambulances stationed in Danvers once the contract begins.

"Northeast Regional is excited at the opportunity to provide Emergency Ambulance Service to the town of Danvers," Northeast President Brian Caponigro said. "Being awarded the contract is a testament to all the hard work done each and every day by our great group of professionals. Our commitment to the town and all of its residents will be our priority starting from day one."
