## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically aimed at healthcare workers dealing with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19. The contract, valued at £5,135,000, was awarded to Inivos Ltd on 19th May 2020 and involved a procurement method that allowed for the award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition, as listed in applicable regulations. This procurement falls under the category of goods and was initiated with the tender period ending on 18th May 2020. The relevant items were intended for delivery within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in the manufacture and supply of PPE, particularly those with capabilities in producing garments suited for biological or chemical protection. As the procurement was directed towards supporting healthcare workers during the pandemic, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in the healthcare sector would be particularly well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Companies focusing on innovative PPE solutions and compliant manufacturing processes could leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence and support public health initiatives.
