Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) aimed at healthcare workers dealing with patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19. The buying organisation, the Department of Health and Social Care, located in London, issued the tender and awarded a contract worth £7,080,000 to Don & Low Limited for the provision of non-woven fabrics suitable for manufacturing gowns. This procurement was initiated as an urgent response to the pandemic, with the contract period starting on 10 April 2020 and ending on 13 April 2020. The procurement method employed was an award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in the textile and PPE manufacturing sectors. Suppliers that can meet urgent production demands for non-woven fabrics or similar goods would benefit greatly from such contracts, particularly those with the capacity to scale operations quickly in response to public health emergencies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that produce these materials are especially well-suited to compete, offering agility and innovation during these critical times.
