Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care has successfully awarded a contract to Purple Surgical UK Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers, specifically face masks, to aid in the care of patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19. This procurement falls under the category of goods, with a total contract value of £7,800,000. The contract period commenced on 19th April 2020 and concluded on 26th May 2020, with the tender process initiated under extreme urgency as outlined in Article 32, which permitted a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

Given the urgent nature of the requirement for personal protective gear during the pandemic, businesses equipped to respond swiftly and those capable of meeting stringent health regulations would find themselves well-positioned to compete. This increased need for protective equipment offers growth potential for suppliers looking to expand their presence in the healthcare market.
