## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust focuses on the provision of staff transport services between Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham and St Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight, specifically linking these locations to designated hovercraft and ferry ports. Currently in the tender stage, the process involves an open procedure with a gross value of £600,000 and is classified under transport services. Significant upcoming deadlines include the tender period ending on 29th June 2026 and the anticipated award period extending to 16th July 2026. The contract is set to commence on 1st August 2026, and it covers regions UKJ31 and UKJ34 within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those developing in the transportation sector. It's well-suited for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its division into specifically identified lots focusing on shuttle services. The provision of routine inter-site transport will enable successful bidders to establish or expand their presence within the healthcare transport industry. Leveraging this opportunity could facilitate the growth of existing transport services and potentially open avenues for further business engagements with public health entities.
