## Summary

The procurement process for the "Analysis of PPE Market/Supply" was conducted by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), focusing on business and management consultancy services. The contract, valued at £408,000, was governed under a call-off from the MCF2 framework and was intended to enhance the supply of PPE in response to COVID-19 demands.
