UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Sample transport packaging" contract has been completed by the Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust in collaboration with the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, which acted as the procuring entity. This tender falls under the services category, specifically focused on transport services excluding waste, in the healthcare sector. The award was made for a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. Located in Birmingham, within the UK region of West Midlands, the contract commenced on 1st April 2025 and is expected to end on 31st January 2026, with the contract being formally signed on 31st March 2025. The total contract value is £12,452.48, exclusive of gross amounts.

This tender creates growth opportunities primarily for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport and packaging services, particularly those offering bespoke, validated packaging solutions like the ones provided by Co-Vertec Ltd, the awarded supplier. Companies skilled in logistics and handling of delicate or specialised items, particularly within the healthcare domain, will find such opportunities appealing and well-suited to their capabilities. SMEs and businesses aiming to expand their client base within public health services could highly benefit from engaging in similar tenders or co-operative NHS procurement collaborations.
