## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract titled "Supply of Personal Protective Equipment for Healthcare Workers for the Care of Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)". The procurement, classified under the goods category for "Garments for biological or chemical protection", was awarded to Chemical Intelligence Ltd for a total value of £1,980,000. The contract period commenced on 24 April 2020 and concluded the same day, following a tender period that ended on 23 April 2020. The procurement method was categorised as "Other", utilising a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the extreme urgency of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19.

This contract presents significant business opportunities for suppliers of personal protective equipment, particularly those who can fulfil urgent procurement needs during health crises. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete in this space, given the contract's nature and the urgent demands of the current market conditions. Companies specialised in the production of health and safety equipment stand to benefit from such tenders, as the demand for reliable suppliers in the healthcare sector continues to grow.
