## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has successfully awarded a contract for the "Supply of Personal Protective Equipment for Healthcare Workers for the Care of Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)" to ZENITH GUILD ENTERPRISES LTD. The procurement, classified under the CPV code for "Garments for biological or chemical protection," was initiated due to extreme urgency amid the COVID-19 pandemic and employed a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract, valued at £18,400,000, commenced on 19 May 2020 and concluded on 20 May 2020.
