Government Secured Freight Capacity

Section 1 - Organisation Details

Please provide details for the organisation.

What type of products does your organisation supply into the UK health and social care sector from or via the EU/EEA?
If you are an unlicensed Medicines / Specials provider, or you are unsure which option to select, please select ‘Other’ and state what type of product

If you selected "Other", please describe below with any additional comments

Section 2 - Import Requirements

In this section DHSC wishes to understand the potential scale of re-routing that suppliers to the health and social care system may need to undertake.

Do you import using HGVs?
You must provide an answer to this question.
Yes No

What is the total volume of product (in HGVs) that your organisation imports from the EU/EEA to the UK on a weekly basis?
If you do not use HGVs please provide an HGV equivalent (assuming the standard HGV is c.14m). Therefore, two 6m vans would equate to one HGV equivalent. This does not have to be exact but should be an indicative average across your portfolio.

Please note this does not constitute a binding contractual commitment.

This question just covers finished goods.

This could be across any mode or route.

Answer

Would you look to IMPORT CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS from or via the EU/EEA on this Government secured ferry capacity?
Please only consider your critical raw materials required (Eg. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), semi-finished goods, component parts, excipients and other direct raw materials)
You must provide an answer to this question.
Yes No

Where you believe you would require some of the government secured ferry capacity, please provide an indication of the number of HGVs you would require for IMPORTING CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS, per week. For these purposes critical raw materials include Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), semi-finished goods, component parts, excipients and other direct raw materials. It does not include indirect raw materials such as cardboard packaging.
Answer

Do you currently import any of these products through the Short Straits?
You must provide an answer to this question.
Yes No

If option 2 (No) of this question was selected then jump to Registration Complete ( Thank you for registering ).

You have said your organisation uses the Short Straits to import products.
How much product (in HGVs) is currently transported via this route per week?

Answer

For what percentage of this volume have you confirmed alternative routes?
Please only include plans that are confirmed and not potential options that may or may not be committed to.

Note: Please only enter integers into the box (i.e. no decimal points and no "%" character)

Trading with the UK as a 'third country'

This section will help to continue to refine the Government's contingency planning.
Whilst the Government can put in place alternative freight arrangements, the smooth operation of all routes into the UK is down to the extent to which Organisations have completed the required activities associated with the UK being treated as a Third Country to the EU.

There is an extensive campaign by the UK Government to help ensure that this is the case.

Does your organisation currently export products to countries outside of the EU?

Yes No

Do you or your logistic partner have one or more of the following?
Select at least 1 option.
