Brexit uk offers 30m contract to maintain drug supply

It appears that the UK government has awarded a £30 million contract to a private company to maintain the supply of medicines to the National Health Service (NHS) in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

According to a report by The Guardian, the contract was awarded to a company called DHL Supply Chain, which is a subsidiary of the German logistics company DHL. The contract is reportedly worth £30 million and is intended to ensure that the NHS has a steady supply of medicines in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

The contract is part of the UK government's preparations for a no-deal Brexit, which would see the UK leave the EU without a transition period or agreement on trade and customs arrangements. The government has been working to prepare for this scenario by stockpiling medicines and other essential goods, as well as awarding contracts to private companies to maintain supply chains.

The £30 million contract with DHL Supply Chain is one of several contracts that the UK government has awarded to private companies to maintain supply chains in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Other contracts have been awarded to companies such as FedEx and Kuehne + Nagel, which are also involved in logistics and supply chain management.

It's worth noting that the UK government has been criticized for its handling of the Brexit process, including its preparations for a no-deal scenario. Some have argued that the government's plans are inadequate and that the country is not prepared for the potential consequences of a no-deal Brexit.
