## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract to Gemini Surgical UK Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (face shields) intended for healthcare workers dealing with patients suspected or confirmed to have Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). This contract falls under the goods procurement category and was valued at £1,915,000. The procurement method employed was an award without prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract period is set for 5 June 2020, concluding the same day. The contract operates out of London, England, with delivery addresses located within the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the production or supply of personal protective equipment, particularly those experienced in healthcare-related goods. Businesses specialising in garment manufacturing, protective equipment, or similar industries would find themselves well-positioned to compete in future tenders or contracts within this vital sector. The emphasis on quality and prompt supply in the context of healthcare makes this a significant avenue for business growth amidst ongoing health challenges.
