Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract for the "Supply of Personal Protective Equipment for Healthcare Workers for the Care of Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)" to Trade Market Direct LTD. This procurement, falling under the category of goods, was initiated to address the urgent needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at £3,832,500, was formally awarded on 19 April 2020, following a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to extreme urgency. The delivery of the equipment is mandated within the United Kingdom, highlighting the focus on local supply chains.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in the production and supply of personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly smaller enterprises capable of meeting urgent healthcare demands. Given the context of the pandemic and the rapid procurement process, companies that are agile and can swiftly adapt to changing regulations in the health sector will be particularly well-suited to compete. Businesses engaged in manufacturing PPE or those with existing capabilities to deliver high-volume orders in compliance with health standards can leverage this contract for expansion in a critical market.
