This open procedure is currently active, with the tender period ending on 9 October 2017. The proposed logistics services will manage supply chain operations for the National Health Service (NHS) and encompass warehousing, transport, inventory management, customer service, and home delivery of medical products. The maximum budget for this contract is estimated at £730 million over a potential five-year term, incorporating up to two extensions of one year each. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for logistics and supply chain companies interested in servicing the healthcare sector. Suitable candidates include providers of warehousing, transport, and inventory management services, as well as those experienced in home delivery operations for healthcare products. As the contract will support the operational needs of NHS providers and users, businesses that can demonstrate efficient logistics capabilities and an understanding of the healthcare landscape will be well-positioned to compete for this substantial contract. ## Notice A current contract between the NHS Business Services Authority ("the Authority") and its incumbent provider (which trades as 'NHS Supply Chain') relating to the procurement and supply chain of goods in the NHS is due to expire on 30 September 2018.
