Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves contracts for the supply of disposable gloves, specifically to replenish and top up the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) Pandemic Preparedness Stockpile. This was conducted through a mini-competition by the Supply Chain Coordination Limited, based in London. Classified under goods, the procurement falls within the health industry and is aimed at servicing the UK region, specifically the London area (UKI4). The relevant contracts, signed on 16th October 2025, are active and have been extended due to unforeseen supply chain disruptions. The initial contract end date was set for 30th June 2026, but has now been extended to 29th December 2026. The procurement was carried out using a selective method under a restricted procedure.

The opportunity is ideal for businesses capable of supplying medical examination gloves, especially those adapted to managing unpredictable supply chain conditions. The contracts provide a lucrative financial incentive with a total value of £33,703,330.11 for each awarded supplier, encouraging participation from large-scale suppliers. This is an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare supplies, particularly those with capabilities in manufacturing or supplying nitrile, vinyl, or polymer-based gloves. Engaging in this contract enables businesses to gain experience, establish partnerships with the DHSC, and expand their market presence in the UK's healthcare supply chain.
