## Summary

Northumbria University is conducting a tender for the urgent procurement of approximately 2,000 FFP3 masks, with a value of £25,000, as part of preparations for the upcoming academic year. The tender was published on 5th June 2020 and is classified under protective gear within the goods category. The submission deadline for quotations is 12th June 2020, and the successful contract period will commence from 19th June to 31st August 2020. Located in Newcastle upon Tyne, this open procurement process is expected to consider bids from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the provision of protective and safety clothing, particularly suppliers of FFP3 masks.
