## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has awarded a contract to Southgate Packaging Limited for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment, specifically aprons, designated for healthcare workers caring for patients with suspected Covid-19. This contract, valued at £217,910, falls within the goods category and was initiated under a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency. The contract period commenced on 27th April 2020 and concludes on 13th May 2020, with delivery required in the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of protective garments and related healthcare supplies. Businesses with a focus on personal protective equipment and those capable of rapid scaling to meet urgent demands would be particularly well-suited to compete for future tenders in this critical and growing sector, especially given the heightened focus on health and safety in light of public health emergencies.
