Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved the Bristol and Weston NHS Purchasing Consortium, seeking road transport services for the North Bristol NHS Trust Pathology Services. The tender was centred around the transportation of specimens, consumables, and documents between laboratories located in Southmead and local healthcare providers, primarily General Practitioners and NHS Trusts in the South West of the United Kingdom. Originally published on 9th February 2015, this tender was classified under market and economic research services and has a value of £805,000. The procurement method was open, with the tender period ending on 20th February 2015. The contract period was slated from 20th October 2015 to 20th October 2020; however, it has since been cancelled.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in logistics, particularly those focused on healthcare and pathology transport services. Companies that can provide efficient transport and management of sensitive medical specimens would be well-suited to compete. Given the nature of the services required, businesses with a strong track record in compliance with health regulations and quality assurance processes would benefit from engaging with similar opportunities in the future, especially in the context of networks with local NHS Trusts.
