## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care initiated a tender titled "Care Home survey on PPE requirement, stock and usage," which falls under the Health and Social Work Services category. The contract was awarded on 3rd June 2020, with a total value of £32,337 and a contract period from 3rd to 15th June 2020. The project aims to assess the varying usage and supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) across different types of care homes throughout the United Kingdom, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and Europe. This procurement process was conducted using a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly for those specialising in research, social studies, and PPE supply chain management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, given their potential agility and specialised knowledge in the sector. Engaging in such surveys can enhance their visibility and establish relationships with key public sector buyers, ultimately facilitating growth and partnerships within the industry.

## Notice

The survey will be used to show the relationship between whether PPE usage and supply differs between different types of care homes (size, residential care vs nursing care, chain or independent, COVID-status).
