Scope, in the buyer’s own words

Hampshire County Council (the Authority) is tendering a contract for courier services to support Hampshire Scientific Services ("HSS").

HSS provides scientific advisory and analytical services to UK public authorities and is accredited to high quality standards required by Government. Under the Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority (SCPHA) arrangements, HSS coordinates the transport of time‑critical food and feed enforcement samples from East Suffolk ports to designated laboratories in Kent and Hampshire. These samples are collected for enforcement testing and are highly time‑critical, with some requiring collection, delivery, and analysis within a strict 24 hour window. Maintaining chain of custody, sample integrity, and time…

The purpose of this procurement is to appoint a suitably capable same‑day courier to deliver a robust, reliable and responsive service. The supplier will be required to provide secure, direct transport that preserves chain of custody and sample integrity, avoiding hub consolidation or processes that add delay or risk, and to provide scalable capacity to meet weekday demand with occasional weekend requirements.
