## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has recently completed a procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically face masks, aimed at protecting healthcare workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. This contract was awarded to Fannin UK Ltd, following an extreme urgency that necessitated the use of a negotiated procedure without prior publication of competition, in accordance with EU directive Article 32. The contract value was £568,800 and the contract period spanned from 3 May 2020 to 4 May 2020, with the tender period concluding on 2 May 2020 in London, England, in the category of protective and safety clothing.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of PPE, particularly those who can adhere to stringent healthcare standards and deliver on-demand products during emergencies. Companies that specialise in safety clothing or medical supplies would be well-placed to compete for similar contracts in the future, particularly in scenarios driven by urgent public health needs, where robust supply chains and quick turnaround capabilities are essential.
