UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Preston Lodge Pharmacy Couriers" was undertaken by the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, a central government public authority located in Leicester, United Kingdom. This contracting process has reached the award stage, with the contract for courier services currently active between 1st July 2026 and 30th June 2028. The tender was conducted via a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The delivery services entail the transportation of medication between Glenfield Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary, and Preston Lodge rehabilitation centre. The services fall under the industry category of courier services, as classified within CPV code 64120000, and are to be provided in the UKF region.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity primarily for businesses with a focus on courier and logistics services. A large-scale enterprise, Trust Group Holdings, has been awarded the contract, highlighting that similar well-established logistics providers with the capability to meet a high delivery compliance rate of 95% could find success in such procurement opportunities. Entrepreneurs and companies specialising in healthcare logistics, particularly within the Leicester region, could leverage this to expand their operations and visibility in the public sector supply chain. Given the nature of services required, businesses with a robust track record in handling medical and pharmaceutical logistics will be particularly well-suited to this type of contract.
