Local Logistics and Transportation Services (includes Taxis and Couriers)

The Trust is currently reviewing its requirements for Taxi/Courier Services and Outreach Support. It is the intention of the Trust to go to competition later this year. The Trust intends to split the contract into lots (as shown below).

We would welcome thoughts and ideas with regards to the service operation, and would be also interested in meeting with suppliers in this market place. If this is of interest please contact Kerry Winsor kerry.winsor@nhs.net or Derek Burgess Derek.Burgess@papworth.nhs.uk
