Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care awarded a contract on 12th May 2020 to Aventis Solutions Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically face masks, aimed at safeguarding healthcare workers dealing with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients. This procurement falls under the goods category, focusing on biological or chemical protective garments, with a total contract value of £18,480,000. The procurement process utilised a negotiated procedure without prior publication, which was justified due to the extreme urgency related to the unforeseen circumstances of the pandemic. The contract’s duration was for one day, ending on the same day it started.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of healthcare-related goods, particularly those specialising in PPE. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in rapid supply chain logistics or manufacturing of protective equipment would be well-suited to engage in similar future contracts. The emphasis on swift and effective responses to health emergencies means that businesses capable of innovating quickly and delivering quality products can find lucrative opportunities in public procurement processes like this one.
