Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract to Gemini Surgical UK Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment, specifically face shields, aimed at protecting healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This procurement falls under the goods category and is classified as garments for biological or chemical protection. The contract, with a value of £1,915,000, was awarded following an expedited process due to the extreme urgency of the situation. The contract period commenced on 10th April 2020 and concluded on the same day, with the tender period closing on 9th April 2020. The procurement was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, justified under Article 32 of relevant directives due to unforeseen circumstances.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of personal protective equipment, particularly SMEs with the capacity to handle urgent production demands. Companies that specialise in medical supplies, particularly those certified to produce PPE, would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders. Given the ongoing need for health and safety equipment in response to pandemics, businesses in this sector can benefit from increased public procurement activities as governments continue to secure adequate resources for healthcare provision.
