MHRA also<br/>produces reagents essential for the<br/>production of influenza vaccines each<br/>year and quality control reagents for the<br/>National Blood Service to help assure the<br/>safety of the UK blood supply.<br/>We currently distribute materials to in<br/>excess of 95 countries around the globe.<br/>These materials are transported under<br/>three temperature zones, Ambient, chilled<br/>2˚c - 8˚c (ice packs), frozen -20˚C (Dry<br/>ice). These consignments have a<br/>validated cold chain life of between 96 and<br/>120 hours. Due to the distances involved<br/>and the vagaries of local customs<br/>practices, firm management and control of<br/>the consignments is imperative.<br/>During the preceding four years we have<br/>seen our volumes grow year on year by<br/>the order of 12.5%. It is envisaged that the<br/>total expenditure for 2025/26 will be in the<br/>approximately £1,200,000 for all<br/>movement types. It would be the intention<br/>of the Agency to achieve some significant<br/>savings through this process whilst<br/>retaining high success rates in its delivery<br/>objectives.<br/>You as our courier, shall be crucial in<br/>ensuring this.
