Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care, which has executed a contract for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), specifically face visors, to support healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement, initiated as a tender, reached its conclusion with an award to DTR Medical Ltd valued at £6,500,000. The contract period commenced on 27 April 2020 and concluded on 5 November 2020. This urgent tender process fell under a negotiated award category due to unforeseen circumstances, bypassing the standard publication of a call for competition.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the supply of medical goods and PPE. Businesses that can provide similar items or have expertise in manufacturing healthcare materials may find future procurement opportunities from the Department of Health and Social Care as they continue to respond to public health needs. SMEs with the capability to deliver under urgent conditions, as evidenced during this COVID-19 crisis, are particularly well-positioned to compete for government contracts moving forward.
