## Summary

NHS Blood and Transplant is seeking a courier service for advanced therapy medicinal products and investigational medicinal products (ATMP/IMP). The requirement is described as logistics courier services, with courier services as the stated procurement category. The work is for NHSBT; the procurement does not identify delivery locations, so suppliers should check the tender documents to establish the required routes and coverage. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. It is a single-lot requirement, meaning the courier service is procured as one package rather than divided into separately bid service areas.

NHS Blood and Transplant invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold route. The tender was issued on 23 October 2026. The deadline for questions was 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and bids were due by 23 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 14 December 2026 to 13 December 2028, with one possible 12-month extension, to 13 December 2029. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). Electronic submission is permitted. The single lot is evaluated on technical capability (50%), price (40%) and social value (10%).

This opportunity is suited to courier and specialist logistics providers able to handle the transport of advanced therapy medicinal products and investigational medicinal products for a national health organisation. Technical capability carries the greatest evaluation weight, so bidders should be ready to demonstrate relevant operational expertise and the ability to deliver the required product-handling and courier service. Price remains a substantial part of the assessment, while social value also contributes to the decision. The requirement is packaged as one service lot, making it a better fit for suppliers able to cover the complete requirement, either directly or through suitable delivery arrangements. The contract offers a multi-year service commitment, with the possibility of a further year, for a supplier with the capacity to support NHS Blood and Transplant.
