## Summary

The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision of drug storage and distribution services for a research study titled "STH5841 Drug storage and distribution for research study - STH20710". The procurement method used was a competitive quotation below the threshold, with a contract value of £73,258.44 GBP. The contract period is scheduled to start on July 17, 2023, and end on July 21, 2023. The tender period ended on the award date, which was on June 8, 2023. The procurement process involved Sheffield as the location and falls under the main procurement category of services.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in providing specialized storage and distribution services, particularly in the healthcare sector, to compete for the contract. Companies with expertise in managing the storage and distribution of medical supplies would be well-suited to participate. Given the nature of the study focusing on bladder cancer patients and the distribution of specific drugs to multiple sites across the UK, businesses with experience in handling pharmaceutical logistics within the healthcare industry would find this tender aligned with their expertise and services.

## Notice

GUSTO (STH20772) is a study for bladder cancer patients. Patients will be randomised to receive either standard care or the intervention treatment, which is selected following gene expression subtyping. Some of the patients on the intervention arm will receive the two drugs Durvalumab & Tremelimumab. Durvalumab & Tremelimumab are being provided free of charge by AstraZeneca, however, they will need to be stored and distritubed to 20 UK sites (including STH) over a 4 year period. The aim of the study is to obtain information to understand whether this approach could improve outcomes and to guide the design of a larger subsequent trial.
