Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved the Norfolk County Council, which completed a tender for the provision of face visors as personal protective equipment (PPE) to safeguard staff and the public against Covid-19. The process was classified under the goods category, specifically for safety visors, with a contract value of £39,000. The tender was awarded on 1 April 2020, without prior publication as permitted by regulation 32 2(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, due to the urgent requirement arising from the pandemic.
