## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed a procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically designed to protect healthcare workers in the care of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The awarded contract, valued at £1,250,000, was secured using a limited procurement method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract period ran from 5th April 2020 to 6th April 2020 in the United Kingdom, and the procurement falls under the category of goods related to biological or chemical protection.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are capable of supplying PPE and related goods, given the recent emphasis on healthcare safety measures. Businesses focused on manufacturing or supplying healthcare products, especially those with expertise in protective equipment, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. By engaging in the public procurement process, these businesses can contribute to national health initiatives while expanding their market presence.
