Summary of the contracting process

The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has initiated the tender process for distributing outpatient pharmacy prescriptions. The procurement, set to run under a restricted procedure, concerns courier services divided into three lots: local deliveries (S & DN postcodes), out-of-area deliveries, and specialist deliveries (such as cold chain and controlled drugs). The tender process is active, and submissions are to be made electronically or in writing by 13:00 on 19 November 2024. The contract, valued at £300,000, will start upon awarding and has potential renewal options. Key contacts for this process are located at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, with delivery addresses primarily in the Sheffield area.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for courier service providers, particularly those with capabilities in medical logistics and cold chain management. Smaller, specialised couriers stand to benefit by competing for the specific lots that match their geographic and logistical strengths. The procurement under the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub's Dynamic Purchasing System ensures compliance with high standards, providing a level field for all competent suppliers. Businesses interested in sustainable growth within the healthcare sector and those looking to expand their portfolio through strategic, high-value contracts should consider bidding.
