## Summary

The public procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care, which has awarded a contract for the supply of single-use face visors under the title "Duraweld Visor." This procurement, categorised under 'goods' (CPV code: 18443500), was initiated due to the urgent demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) across the NHS, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The tender period ended on 25 June 2020, with the awarded contract valued at £4,212,000 and effective from 29 June 2020 to 25 December 2020. The procurement method was a negotiated procedure without prior publication, justified by extreme urgency as per Article 32 of relevant directives.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the production of PPE or related goods. Companies capable of rapidly delivering high-quality single-use visors could find a valuable avenue for business growth within the public sector. Given the urgency surrounding PPE supply during the pandemic, businesses that can demonstrate reliability, compliance with health and safety standards, and capacity for quick delivery would be well-positioned to succeed in future tenders, as the demand for health-related goods continues to evolve.
