Summary of the contracting process

Collaborative Procurement Partnership LLP (CPP LLP), acting on behalf of Supply Chain Coordination Ltd., has awarded a contract to British Polythene Industries PLC for the purchase of single-use theatre protective clothing, specifically to meet the urgent demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the NHS. This procurement process, initiated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, falls under the medical clothing industry category, with a total contract value of £779,040. The contract period runs from 30 April 2020 to 31 July 2020, and the procurement method used was a negotiated procedure without prior publication, responding to extreme urgency stemming from unforeseeable public health risks.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare supplies sector to expand their business operations, particularly those specialising in medical clothing and PPE. Companies that can quickly adapt and respond to high-demand situations, as well as those with existing supply chains for medical textiles, would be well-positioned to compete in future similar contracts. The urgency and scale of the demand underscore the critical nature of such procurements, suggesting that suppliers who can ensure rapid delivery and quality compliance will find advantageous opportunities ahead.

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a serious infectious respiratory disease and its consequences pose a risk to life. The COVID-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concerns as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020, by this stage Europe was the centre of the pandemic. 2. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is critical in safeguarding the health and lives of the healthcare professionals treating patients with COVID-19. Delays in procuring the PPE, poses a risk to life of those on the front line and the likelihood of significantly increased death toll. 3. In March the NHS experienced severe shortages of PPE, modelling based the trajectory of other European countries forecast the need for significant and extremely rapid increase in the UK PPE capacity. Similar shortfalls in PPE stocks were identified globally. There was immense demand for PPE, requiring the need to actively seek and create new supply chains rapidly to meet that demand. In these circumstances, a procurement following the usual timescales under the PCR 2015, including accelerated options, was impossible. PPE manufacturers and supply chains were under immediate and unprecedented global pressure to provide products. A delay in engaging with the market by running a usual procurement process ran the risk of failing to acquire the necessary stock of PPE equipment and presenting a significant risk to life. Collaborative Procurement Partnership LLP (CPP LLP) acting on behalf of Supply Chain Coordination Ltd (SCCL) is content the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication are met: 1 The purchasing of PPE was identified as strictly necessary to meet anticipated demand. 2 It is responding to COVID-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency. 3 The events that led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: The Commission itself confirmed: "The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency - precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary." 4 There was no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open, restricted or competitive procedures with negotiation that would secure products within the required timescales. 5 The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority: It has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.
