## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically gowns, aimed at protecting healthcare workers dealing with patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19. This procurement falls under the goods category with a total value of £573,000. The contract period commenced on 8th June 2020 and was completed on the same day.
