Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care, which has issued a tender titled "Contract for the supply of anti malarials and antiretrovirals_HFA Healthcare." This initiative falls under the pharmaceutical industry category and specifically relates to the urgent procurement of hydroxychloroquine tablets for Covid-19 trials. The procurement method used is a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, with a total contract value of £3,150,000. The tender period concluded on 1 April 2020, and the contract commenced on 22 April 2020, set to last until 31 July 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, to engage in critical supply processes during a public health emergency.
