The tender, titled "URGENT HELP NEEDED re Provision of PPE for NHS Staff," falls under the goods category with a focus on medical clothing and safety garments. The procurement method is open, and the tender period concluded on April 27, 2020, while the contract period commenced on April 28, 2020, and is set to run until September 1, 2020. This initiative is particularly crucial as there is a national shortage of essential items like gowns and disposable overalls, with delivery required in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying protective clothing and medical supplies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) given their suitability for this requirement. Companies that specialise in producing items such as lab coats, chemical suits, or other protective clothing are well-positioned to contribute, addressing the urgent needs of the local NHS and potentially securing future contracts within the healthcare sector. ## Notice As you may be aware, there is a national shortage of gowns for NHS staff. This shortage is also affecting us locally- and as a result, Devon is in desperate need of gowns. We are therefore putting out a plea for any boiler suits, lab coats, painting suits, chemical suits or any kind of disposable (or washable) overall with full length sleeves. Full information on the kinds of items which would be acceptable is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/isolation-gowns.html If you have stocks of anything which you think may be suitable, and which you are willing to spare, please contact the CCG on plannedcare.control@nhs.net. PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUEST RELATES TO IMMEDIATE SUPPLY OF THE ITEMS DESCRIBED. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1d9fcdb-c13a-4c94-8489-92d4a41b3393 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 27 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Apr 2020 | | Contract period | 28 Apr 2020 - 1 Sep 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TORBAY COUNCIL | | Locality | TORQUAY | | Post town | Torquay | | Postcode | TQ1 3DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK42 Torbay | | Local authority | Torbay | | Electoral ward | Tormohun | | Westminster constituency | Torbay | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | NONE; VARIOUS SUPPLIERS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 30192000 - Office supplies - 33199000 - Medical clothing - 35113400 - Protective and safety clothing - 35113430 - Safety vests - 35113450 - Protective coats or ponchos - 35113490 - Protective frock ## Release History - 26 Jun 2020 at 10:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1d9fcdb-c13a-4c94-8489-92d4a41b3393 - 28 Apr 2020 at 10:57 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4c1acb3-ce8a-4479-b1e2-d1251247223a - 20 Apr 2020 at 11:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6510e350-4a9c-4664-8f51-3a4ba22423fb - 20 Apr 2020 at 08:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e54eac42-14da-49c1-9e7e-2314832c780c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1d9fcdb-c13a-4c94-8489-92d4a41b3393 25th June 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4c1acb3-ce8a-4479-b1e2-d1251247223a 27th April 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6510e350-4a9c-4664-8f51-3a4ba22423fb 20th April 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e54eac42-14da-49c1-9e7e-2314832c780c 20th April 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=15372f79-dd82-ea11-80ff-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.torbay.gov.uk/ - https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/isolation-gowns.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
