## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically designed for healthcare workers dealing with patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19. This procurement, classified under goods, involved a limited method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with a contract value of £919,000. The contract period commenced and concluded on 8th May 2020, with the tender period closing on the same date. The contract was awarded to FoneBox Assets Ltd, with the relevant activities taking place in the United Kingdom, specifically London where DHSC is located.

This opportunity for PPE supply serves as an entry point for businesses engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of healthcare-related goods, particularly those producing protective clothing. Companies specialising in health and safety equipment, especially those capable of meeting urgent demands for protective gear during health crises, would be particularly well-suited to pursue future tenders of this nature. Additionally, businesses with experience in navigating public procurement processes and those aligned with government standards for healthcare supplies stand to benefit from similar opportunities as the demand for protective equipment continues.
