Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care, based in London, has awarded a contract to Meller Designs Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), specifically hand sanitizer, aimed at protecting healthcare workers who are caring for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, and the contract, valued at £1,080,000, was initiated through an urgent negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the extreme circumstances surrounding the pandemic. The contract period commenced on 5th May 2020 and concluded on the same day, following the tender period that ended on 4th May 2020.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for growth within the PPE supply sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of fulfilling urgent public health requirements. Businesses with expertise in manufacturing or sourcing healthcare-related products, including sanitising solutions, would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future. Given the ongoing demand for PPE in healthcare settings, there are ample prospects for organisations looking to expand their operations in this critical industry.
