The brief

Internal courier services for mail, pathology, equipment and other ad hoc items of both scheduled and unscheduled requirements, across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.

Keeping the courier transport service as a single, non-regional requirement reflects the way the participating Trusts operate across a wide and overlapping geographic footprint.

If the service were divided into regional lots, items routinely crossing regional boundaries would require additional handovers between providers, introducing extra cost, delay, and operational risk, as well as duplicating vehicles and mileage.

A single service model instead enables suppliers to design efficient, mixed-Trust routes that better reflect real demand, reduce “empty running”, and optimise fleet utilisation.

This approach supports improved value for money for the NHS while also helping to deliver sustainability benefits through fewer journeys and lower emissions, aligning with the NHS ambition to reach net zero carbon by 2040.
