## Summary

The NHS Supply Chain is planning a tender for the establishment of a Framework Agreement concerning the supply of polythene aprons, integral to the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Programme (PIPP). The procurement is classified under the plastic products industry, with an estimated budget of £64 million, starting on 1 April 2019 and ending on 31 March 2020. The open procurement process is anticipated to commence on 15 October 2019, with a duration extending until 14 October 2023. The delivery addresses are spread across various regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in manufacturing plastic products and protective clothing. Companies, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-positioned to compete, given the potential value in the initial year estimated at £20 million. This framework not only caters to public health needs but also encourages businesses to align their offerings with critical health initiatives, thus enabling substantial growth through government contracts.
