The Department of Health and Social Care in the UK has awarded a contract to Toffeln Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (specifically visors) to protect healthcare workers dealing with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. This procurement, initiated as a tender, has been classified under the CPV code for "Garments for biological or chemical protection." The purchase order was raised on 17 April 2020, with the contract being signed on 25 April 2020. The total contract value is £2,742,000, and the goods are to be delivered in three separate shipments scheduled for 24 April, 1 June, and 8 June 2020. The procurement method used was a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency as outlined in Article 32 of the relevant directive.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the production and supply of medical protective gear. Businesses capable of meeting stringent health and safety standards for PPE manufacturing in the UK are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The critical nature of healthcare procurement during pandemic situations creates a necessity for reliable suppliers who can deliver quality products quickly.
