Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by the Department of Health and Social Care focused on the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), specifically surgical masks for healthcare workers attending to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The contract was awarded to The Paper Drinking Straw Drinking Co Ltd for a total value of £19,877,000. The procurement method involved the award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition and was initiated as a tender. The contract period commenced on 12th June 2020, following the end of the tender period on 11th June 2020. The buying organisation is headquartered in London, England.

This procurement opportunity highlights significant avenues for business growth, especially for companies involved in the production and supply of PPE and safety equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have a capacity to deliver high-quality goods in a timely manner would be particularly well-suited to compete in this space. Additionally, suppliers focused on the healthcare sector can leverage such contracts to establish a stronger foothold in the market, benefiting from the ongoing demand for PPE in light of health crises.
