Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed a public procurement process for the emergency purchase of 260,000 nitrile gloves in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This tender was initiated using a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action, at a total value of £25,454. The tender period ended on 30 April 2020, with the contract period commencing on 1 May 2020 and concluding on 1 May 2020. The gloves were required to support infection control measures within the prison estate, with deliveries managed to various locations, including the UK and overseas territories.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in medical supplies or personal protective equipment. The urgency surrounding the COVID-19 response suggests that companies capable of swiftly providing quality protective gear would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses already experienced in governmental contracts or those that could meet similar emergency supply demands may find this sector increasingly viable for growth.
