Coverage: 451 active published awards; 397 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The Express Freight Service (EFS) forms part of the Department of Health and Social Care's (DHSC's) National Supply Disruption Response, which is part of the multi-layered approach to help mitigate the impact of disruption to supply of medicines, medical products & ancillary health services. The EFS was originally designed to help mitigate disruption in the event of a no deal exit from the EU and has since been used as part of COVID 19 response arrangements when all other options have been exhausted. It is DHSC's intention to re-procure a similar service to ensure continued contingency in case of any unforeseen event. The new solution is designed to incorporate all 3 current services into one agile solution. The key elements of the new service will include: - continuity of flow to and from the UK (mainly from Europe but with capability to extend its reach globally); flexibility & responsiveness; value for money.
