## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom has awarded a contract for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically gowns, to Inivos Limited. This procurement falls under the goods category and was completed on 25th June 2020, with a contract value of £117,360,000. The procurement process was initiated through a tender, with the formal award made without the prior publication of a call for competition. The tender period ended on 24th June 2020, after which the contract was formally signed.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the PPE manufacturing sector, particularly those capable of producing garments that meet biological or chemical protection standards. Businesses focusing on innovative and sustainable PPE solutions could benefit significantly from similar contracts, as demand remains high in response to ongoing health concerns such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies looking to expand their operations in healthcare supplying or manufacturing are particularly well-suited to engage in future tenders of this nature.
