## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care, which has executed a contract for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), specifically face visors, to support healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement, initiated as a tender, reached its conclusion with an award to DTR Medical Ltd valued at £6,500,000. The contract period commenced on 27 April 2020 and concluded on 5 November 2020. This urgent tender process fell under a negotiated award category due to unforeseen circumstances, bypassing the standard publication of a call for competition.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the supply of medical goods and PPE. Businesses that can provide similar items or have expertise in manufacturing healthcare materials may find future procurement opportunities from the Department of Health and Social Care as they continue to respond to public health needs. SMEs with the capability to deliver under urgent conditions, as evidenced during this COVID-19 crisis, are particularly well-positioned to compete for government contracts moving forward.

## Notice

The Department of Health and Social Care (the "Authority") has awarded a contract to DTR Medical Ltd for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (face visors) to protect Health and Care workers from contracting the Covid 19 disease. Additional information: Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with Article 32. Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive.
