04Courier and logistics contracts: common questions
How many courier and logistics tenders are live in the North West?
7 right now, from 6 public buyers, with 4 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in courier and logistics contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win courier and logistics contracts?
Often, yes. 4 of the 7 live tenders in the North West are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 2 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Transport & fleet
Transport contracts usually check operator licences, vehicle standards and DBS checks for passenger work. Councils often run dynamic purchasing systems for home-to-school and patient transport that you can join at any time.
