## Summary

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought customised, gusseted courier bags with printed designs for its courier and mailing requirements. This is a goods supply contract for printed mail or parcel bags, intended for use by the Trust in Cambridge and across the United Kingdom. The requirement would suit manufacturers and specialist packaging suppliers able to produce bags to an organisation’s specification, including customised dimensions, gusseting and printed branding. It is relevant to businesses supplying reusable or single-use courier packaging, medical logistics materials, internal hospital distribution supplies or similar printed transport packaging. The named public-sector buyer is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a central-government public authority operating from Cambridge.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 7 December 2026. The contract is active. Versapak International Limited was awarded the single lot. Its value is £12,467.50 excluding VAT, or £14,961 including VAT. The tender was evaluated as a goods procurement for one requirement covering customised printed courier bags. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier and one completed lot. This is an award outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a tender, and the contract has already entered its delivery period.

For competitors, this award demonstrates that Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust purchases specialist courier bags rather than generic unprinted packaging. A credible future supplier would need to manufacture or source gusseted mail and parcel bags, apply accurate printed customisation, and manage the production and delivery of made-to-specification packaging for a healthcare organisation. Relevant capability includes repeatable print quality, reliable dimensional consistency, packaging durability, order administration and dependable fulfilment across the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national distributor. Suppliers with comparable hospital, laboratory, pharmaceutical, clinical logistics or secure document-handling packaging experience would be well placed.
