## Summary

The public procurement process is led by Torbay Council, seeking urgent assistance in the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) for NHS staff amid a national shortage. This tender, titled "URGENT HELP NEEDED re Provision of PPE for NHS Staff," falls under the goods category and addresses a critical need within the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, with the tender period having concluded on 27th April 2020. Contracts are set to be awarded starting from 28th April 2020, with a contract delivery expected from 1st June 2020 to 1st September 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of supplying various types of protective clothing, including boiler suits, lab coats, and overall garments, especially those that can provide disposable or washable options. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is specifically suited to these sectors. Companies that maintain stocks of suitable PPE or possess the capability to manufacture such items quickly would be particularly well-positioned to benefit from this urgent supply demand.

## 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.
