Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care has recently awarded a contract valued at £2,290,000 to Ascot Signs Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (face visors) essential for healthcare workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The procurement process, which followed a negotiated procedure without prior publication, was prompted by the extreme urgency resulting from unforeseen circumstances. The contract period commenced on 30 April 2020, concluding the tender stage that ended on 29 April 2020, and is classified under the goods category specifically for CPV code 18443500 related to visors.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the manufacture and supply of personal protective equipment and related safety products. Businesses with expertise in healthcare supplies, particularly those specialising in PPE, will be well-suited to compete for future contracts in this essential sector, especially given the ongoing need for safety measures in healthcare settings arising from the pandemic.
