All of the items are medically critical and confidential and loss of an item or failure to deliver on time and/or to the correct recipient could put patients at risk. The successful contractor will therefore need to be highly responsive, be able to deliver promptly, safely and efficiently. The winning contractor must have an MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) WDA licence. Additional information: This formal tender has failed to establish effective competition and as such the Trust is unable to continue with the procedure.
