## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract titled "Supply of Face Shields" to P14 Medical for the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to protect health and care workers against Covid-19. The contract was valued at £4,192,812 and falls under the category of biological or chemical protection equipment, classified under CPV code 35113410. The award was made using a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency. The contract period began on 19 April 2020 and ended on the same day, following a tender period that closed on 18 April 2020, indicating a swift procurement process necessitated by pressing public health requirements. The primary delivery location for the face shields was the United Kingdom.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in PPE manufacturing, providing a pathway for businesses to engage with government health contracts. Given the urgent nature of the procurement and the specific requirements for biological protection garments, other firms in the PPE sector may find similar tenders beneficial for expansion and visibility within public health contracts. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions or competitive pricing in the context of public health emergencies will be well-positioned to compete for future contracts in this vital industry.
