    Brief

    Hampshire County Council is seeking a same-day courier service to transport scientific samples from ports in East Suffolk (Felixstowe, Harwich, and Ipswich) to laboratories in Kent and Hampshire on behalf of Hampshire Scientific Services (HSS). HSS provides accredited scientific advisory and analytical services supporting public health and safety across the UK. The samples are subject to strict time-critical deadlines, with some requiring collection, delivery, and analysis within 24 hours. The successful supplier must: maintain secure chain of custody and sample integrity; provide direct transport without unnecessary handling or delays; ensure reliable and responsive service; offer scalable capacity for regular weekday demand; and provide flexibility for occasional weekend requirements. This is an initial 19-month contract with the option to extend for up to two additional 12-month periods (until 29 June 2030). Interested suppliers are invited to engage in this pre-market engagement notice prior to formal tender.
