Procurement Information
This product leverages advanced antimicrobial technology that provides broad-spectrum protection on contact. The active mechanism of the product forms a persistent, invisible barrier on skin and surfaces, with residual activity. Unlike conventional alcohol-based sanitizers, this formulation remains effective long after application. Currently, no other hand hygiene product on the market employs this specific long-acting antimicrobial technology. Due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, only this supplier can supply the goods required. Procurement Act 2023, Section 41, Schedule 5, Section 6
