In plain English
NHS Blood and Transplant is buying a courier service to move Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (cell and gene therapies made from living cells) and Investigational Medicinal Products (medicines still in clinical trials) between hospitals, labs and clinical sites. The estimated value is £300,000, and the deliveries must be handled under strict temperature and safety controls.
What the buyer wants
• Collect and deliver time-critical, temperature-sensitive medical products safely and on schedule across the required routes • Maintain a documented chain of custody, temperature monitoring and full delivery records for every consignment • Respond quickly to urgent and out-of-hours requests, with resilience plans for vehicle or driver failure
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The regulated cold-chain and medicinal product distribution requirements, combined with a need for validated vehicles and quick out-of-hours response, would likely exclude businesses without existing pharmaceutical or clinical courier experience.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
