Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is currently managing the procurement for the provision of freight services related to personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical equipment. This contract, originally awarded to Uniserve Limited on 30 March 2020, has been extended for an additional nine months, now concluding on 31 December 2021, due to the ongoing requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically freight transport agency services. The overall contract value has increased by £99,500,000 to ensure continuity of service while DHSC mobilizes newly awarded contracts.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in logistics and freight services, especially those equipped to handle the complexities of transporting and storing essential medical supplies. Companies that specialise in freight transport and storage, particularly those with existing arrangements within the transport logistics chain, would be well-suited to compete. This extension ensures that the procurement process continues to support essential health services, thereby creating a favourable environment for growth and expansion for suppliers in this sector.
