About

The Department of Health and Social Care awarded a contract to Kuehne + Nagel Limited for a managed service providing access to a premium freight service for the transportation of medicines, medical products, and related ancillary health services.

The service is available for use by Crown Bodies and Crown Dependencies using any mode of transport compatible with transit timescale requirements, conditions of carriage, and effective mitigation of foreseeable disruption.

The solution consolidates three current services into one agile solution, with key elements including continuity of flow to and from the UK (mainly from Europe with global reach capability), flexibility and responsiveness, and value for money.

The contract was awarded following a competitive, open procedure and a minimum 10-day standstill period, for an initial 12-month period with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months.

The contract value is £1,242,028.
