Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care awarding a contract for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically face masks, intended for healthcare workers dealing with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. This contract, valued at £14,400,000, was awarded to Vitalcare Trading UK Ltd on 13 May 2020, following a tender process that concluded on 12 May 2020. The contract period extends from 13 May 2020 to 15 May 2020, and the delivery address is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method was classified as 'Other', indicating it was awarded without prior publication of a competitive call for bids.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacture and supply of PPE, particularly those that are SMEs. Given the urgency and public health implications surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses equipped to respond quickly could find potential for growth. Companies involved in the production and distribution of medical supplies or protective gear would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders within this sector, as demand for PPE is likely to remain high in the healthcare industry.
