Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care has completed a procurement process titled "Supply of Personal Protective Equipment for Healthcare Workers for the Care of Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)." This tender involved the award of a contract worth £5,080,500 to Able Services Supplies Limited for the supply of face masks, specifically classified under the CPV code for garments for biological or chemical protection. The procurement was conducted outside the standard publication process, with the contract awarded on 18th May 2020, and the contract period lasting until 27th May 2020. The delivery of the goods was intended for the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the production or supply of personal protective equipment, particularly those that can swiftly adapt to the needs of health and care workers. Businesses that specialise in manufacturing medical supplies, especially those focused on biological or chemical protection equipment, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The recent focus on health and safety mandates has opened a pathway for increased demand in this sector.
