## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has issued a tender titled "COVID-19 Emergency requirement for Reusable Face Masks," aimed at addressing urgent supply needs for HMPPS personnel amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £745,000. The tender period concluded on 30 April 2020, and the contract was awarded for the period from 1 May 2020 to 1 May 2020. The procurement method employed was a direct approach via a single tender action, falling below the threshold for competitive bidding. The delivery addresses include multiple locations across the UK and overseas territories.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in the production and supply of medical equipment and personal protective items. Suppliers specialising in reusable face masks, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), could find this procurement process to be a beneficial avenue for growth. The focus on hygiene and safety within the prison estate indicates a sustained demand for such products, potentially fostering long-term business relationships with governmental organisations and enhancing future contract opportunities.
