## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has recently completed a procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), specifically face visors, aimed at protecting healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This contract, valued at £3,000,000, was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to the extreme urgency of the situation. The procurement took place in the United Kingdom, with the contract effective from 18 May 2020 to 19 May 2020, following the tender period which ended on 17 May 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the manufacturing and supply of PPE, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative solutions rapidly. Companies involved in producing health and safety equipment, especially those with experience in high-demand environments like healthcare, would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts in the future. The urgent nature of such procurements opens avenues for businesses to engage in quick deliveries and responsive solutions to public health challenges.
