North of England Care System Support (NECS) has a requirement to deliver IT equipment between corporate and clinical NHS sites and to staff homes. There is also a requirement to collect parcels from similar sites and return these to a NECS facility. It is estimated that an average of 1200-1500 parcels per month would be shipped in either direction, however this volume is subject to change based on evolving NHS working practice and through short-term project activity.
NECS requires a reliable courier who can provide safe and efficient deliveries and collections across the whole of the UK to both residential and business addresses by a customer friendly portal.
NECS will need a comprehensive delivery and collection service for IT equipment (e.g., laptops, monitors, mobile phones) to and from residential addresses and NHS sites located in United Kingdom.
The NECS Commissioner has a maximum financial envelope available for the 12 month contract term of £190,000.00 excluding VAT.
At the end of the initial contract term the Commissioner will have extension options of up to 3 months in total, which will be awarded at the commissioner's discretion.
The new contract will commence on 9th January 2026.
This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of North of England Care System Support (NECS) .
