## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically for healthcare workers dealing with patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19. The contract is valued at £2,350,000 and falls under the industry category of garments for biological or chemical protection. The procurement process was initiated through a tender and has reached the award stage, with the contract effective from 19 May 2020 to 28 May 2020. The procurement method used was an award without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting the urgency of the situation.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the PPE supply market, particularly those with experience in providing healthcare products. Vendors capable of delivering high-quality protective gear swiftly and efficiently would find this tender appealing. Firms specialising in protective clothing or medical supply logistics are particularly well-suited to compete in this sector, given the ongoing need for adequate PPE in healthcare settings.
