OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the 'Covid19 Reactive Purchase' was initiated by North Lanarkshire Council, located in Motherwell, Scotland. This procurement, which falls under the general public services category (CPV code 33000000), was conducted as a limited procedure due to extreme urgency, allowing for an award without prior competition. The contract was signed on 14 May 2020, with an allocated budget of £545,000. Notably, this procurement was driven by urgent requirements for PPE during the Covid-19 pandemic, necessitating prompt action in response to unforeseen supply chain challenges.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the goods supply sector, particularly those specialising in personal protective equipment. Businesses that can provide high-quality PPE rapidly would be well-suited to compete in this space, given the urgency of requirements demonstrated in this procurement. Additionally, suppliers with the capability to navigate market constraints and irregular pricing fluctuations will find potential for growth in future reactive purchases similar to this contract.
