The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the provision of Inter-Trust Courier Services under the CPV classification 64120000. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure with a contract value of £8,533,471.14, awarded on 16 October 2024, to QE FACILITIES LIMITED. The courier services will be delivered primarily in the region UKC2, and the original tender process started on 10 April 2024, with the bid submission deadline on 13 May 2024. The procurement, classified under the services category, allows for two 12-month extension options.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the courier services industry, particularly those with the capacity to handle high-value contracts and provide comprehensive inter-trust delivery solutions. The procurement process was open to electronic and written submissions, making it accessible to a wide range of suppliers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) showed interest, with two out of three bids coming from SMEs. Businesses experienced in contractual services for the healthcare sector, and those with a solid logistical network in the UK, are particularly well-suited to compete for such opportunities in future procurements.
