Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care has recently awarded a contract for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically face masks to Veritas Medical Solutions. This procurement falls under the category of goods, classified as "Garments for biological or chemical protection". The contract, valued at £242,658, commenced on 2 June 2020 and was part of a tender process that concluded on 1 June 2020. The procurement method used was atypical, allowing for the award without prior publication, in line with regulations for urgent healthcare needs related to COVID-19. The contract will be carried out in the United Kingdom, where the buying organisation is based in London.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of PPE and related healthcare products. Given the urgency and scale of the healthcare response to the COVID-19 pandemic, companies that specialise in producing high-quality protective gear could find opportunities for growth through future contracts in this space. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to engage in similar tenders, allowing them to expand their market presence and contribute to public health initiatives.
