## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has completed a procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically protective visors, intended for healthcare workers dealing with patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19. The contract, valued at £975,000, was awarded to GLSI on 21st April 2020, following an urgent procurement method that allowed for a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to unforeseen circumstances. The contract had an end date on the same day and is classified under the goods category. The procurement process marked its completion with the contract published on 23rd June 2020.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs supplying health and safety products or PPE, to engage with government contracts that address immediate public health needs. Companies offering similar goods, especially those with streamlined production capabilities, may find themselves well-placed to compete in future tenders, as the ongoing demand for PPE and related supplies continues in response to health crises.
