Operating your own delivery vehicles can be expensive and costly plus it can be a distraction from your core business. Avanti nationwide contract delivery services can deliver your goods to your customers as a reliable, professional service with as much attention to detail as your own staff. Alongside our contract delivery services we offer 3rd party logistics services.

We can provide you with dedicated drivers and vehicles in your own livery if required. In some industries such as healthcare and high value branded goods we use unmarked vans due to the value and confidentiallity of the goods in transit. We understand that delivery is an important customer interface for your business and we do everything we can to support you.

By using our contract delivery service you are guaranteed peace of mind and managed costs. We take care of the peaks and troughs of delivery volumes, planning, routing, holiday cover and goods in transit insurance. We collect the goods at pre-arranged times and let you know when they have been delivered.

Contract delivery services that we are currently providing include home deliveries of healthcare / medical products to pensioners on a pre-agreed delivery cycle. The dedicated vans have to be unmarked due to the sensitivity of the medical product range. This multi drop delivery work each day requires a patient and understanding attitude at the point of delivery due to the age and immobility of the recipient. In addition 80% of deliveries are in rural areas so a deep geographical knowledge supported by satellite navigation is critical.

A very different contract requires Avanti to deliver printed employment directories to all universities in the UK, Northern Ireland and Eire. The scope of work involves the storage of directories once they have arrived by trailer from an Eastern European printer. Deliveries are organised to 226 universities by routing in geographical order.

Avanti are contracted to deliver bed mattresses, bedding, towels and duvets to HM Prisons nationwide. The drivers are required to supply full ID and follow stop and search procedures. The products are not only difficult to handle but the delivery points are time consuming due to security issues.
