    Brief

    This contract provides external courier services for transporting pathology specimens to diagnostic laboratories. The service is procured through framework agreement RM6354 and handles both regular scheduled deliveries and urgent ad hoc requests. Services must ensure specimens are transported safely, maintain compliance with medical and regulatory standards, and deliver samples on time to support laboratory diagnostic operations. This service is essential when internal courier capacity is insufficient to meet demand. Qualified suppliers should have experience in medical specimen handling, temperature control capabilities where required, and reliable transportation logistics.
