## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract to Maxima Markets Limited for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically face masks, aimed at ensuring the safety of healthcare workers managing patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19. This tender process was conducted under extreme urgency, allowing for the procurement method of awarding a contract without prior public competition. The contract, valued at £1,850,000, had a contract period starting and ending on 4th June 2020, following the tender period that concluded on 3rd June 2020, and is classified under the CPV code for garments for biological or chemical protection. The location of services is within the United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity represents significant potential for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) able to supply PPE within tight deadlines. Businesses specialising in the production and distribution of protective equipment, especially those with experience in urgent healthcare provisioning, would be well-matched to compete for similar future contracts. The requirement for high-quality, compliant PPE in a demanding health context opens avenues for suppliers who can ensure rapid delivery and adherence to regulatory standards.
