Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the "Transportation Services for Radioactive Medicine". This contract was awarded to ISOSPEED 7 LTD, a small to medium enterprise based in Coventry. The procurement was conducted under a limited method, indicating below-threshold competition in accordance with the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation. The service involves parcel delivery necessary for the transportation of radioactive medicines to the region UKF1 in the United Kingdom, with the contract beginning on 18th August 2025 and ending on 7th November 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in logistics services, particularly those capable of handling sensitive and regulated materials like radioactive medicines. Small to medium enterprises with established delivery operations and the capability of ensuring meticulous regulatory compliance are well-positioned to compete. The procurement process, though limited in competition, underscores the potential for growth in niche delivery markets, providing successful businesses with an avenue to expand their service portfolio within the public health sector. Additionally, with a gross contract value of £18,000, it sets a substantial precedent for similar contracts in public procurement.
