Transport services (excl. Waste transport)

Tender description

This public procurement competition will be divided into two lots (each a ‘Lot’) as described below. It is anticipated that each lot will result in a separate contract: — Lot 1 relates to the provision of transport distribution services between the National Distribution Centre, Tullamore and the HSE’s Regional Hubs; — Lot 2 relates to the provision of transport distribution services between the National Distribution Centre, Tullamore and HSE sites within Laois, Offaly, Longford and Westmeath. Further detail in relation to the Regional Hubs and the relevant HSE sites is set out in Appendix 1. Tenderers are invited to compete for one or both lots. It is anticipated that a separate contract for services (each a ‘Services Contract’) will be awarded for each lot. For the avoidance of doubt, the same tenderer may win both lots.
