Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust focuses on the provision of Staff Inter-Site Transport Services. This contract falls under the "Transport services" industry category, specifically excluding waste transport. The process follows an open competitive flexible procedure and has evolved from the tender stage to the award stage as of 24th December 2025. The services are intended for implementation within London, United Kingdom, with a contract period beginning on 2nd March 2026 and potentially extending to 1st March 2032. The contract value amounts to £1,192,720.02, excluding VAT, and includes provisions for two twelve-month extensions post the initial term. Key dates in the timeline include the standstill period ending on 8th January 2026 and the contract's signature milestone scheduled for 31st January 2026.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in transport services and those capable of providing integrated logistics solutions. The contract winner is DHL Supply Chain, a large-scale supplier. However, opportunities existed for various kinds of enterprises including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and those associated with voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors, given the diverse participation in the bidding process. Businesses with capabilities in managing logistics and fleets, and offering value through both technical and social contributions, were positioned to gain competitive advantage. The procurement structure encouraged participation through its flexible procedure, which included a 'Competitive Flexible Procedure with Invitation to Submit Final Tenders (ISFT) and Best and Final Offer (BAFO)' phase, eliminating a separate participation stage and thus lowering barriers to entry.
