The project involved contracts awarded to five suppliers, each with a budget between £20,000 and £66,000, with manufacturing equipment and raw materials supplied by the authority itself. The contract period commenced on 7th July 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2021, with an award date of 1st July 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the textiles and personal protective equipment sectors. Suppliers that can demonstrate capability in manufacturing goods swiftly and fit for immediate use will be well-positioned to compete, especially those with experience in producing healthcare-related products. The nature of the procurement method, which did not require a prior call for competition, allows agile suppliers to engage efficiently in this market. ## Notice The Cabinet Office has entered into contracts with five producers to procure non-medical face coverings (with a value of between PS20,000 and PS66,000 only per producer) which are required to support the national Covid 19 pandemic response. Additional information: The Authority has awarded five contracts for the supply of non-medical face coverings within the UK. The value of the goods purchased by the Authority is below the threshold values in Regulation 5 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the "PCR"). The contracts involve the provision by the Contracting Authority of manufacturing equipment that the Contracting Authority owns by way of a lease to the five producers awarded a contract. The contracts also involve the provision by the Contracting Authority of raw materials to the producers for use in the manufacture of the face coverings. The purpose of these arrangements is to facilitate and accelerate production of non-medical face coverings, to address the urgent requirement for these arising as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. These leasing and supply arrangements do not fall within the scope of the PCR 2015. The Contracting Authority purchased the manufacturing equipment subject to separate contracts set out in contract award notices 2020 S/141-348171 and 2020 S/143-352966 . The Contracting Authority purchased the raw materials under separate contracts set out in contract award notice 2021/S 000-001208. The Contracting Authority was not required to publish a call for competition because these contracts do not fall within the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. However, the Contracting Authority has opted to publish this notice in the interests of transparency. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b217554c-addb-4bee-bcdc-64974b62d4a6 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below (please complete Annex D1) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Jun 2020 | | Contract period | 6 Jul 2020 - 31 Jul 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £66,666 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £86,666 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CABINET OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2HQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 5 | | Supplier names | COOKSON & CLEGG CLOTHING; IVOR SHAW; ROCAILLE HEALTHCARE; THE BRITISH ROTOTHERM; TRANSCAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33000000 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ## Release History - 11 Mar 2021 at 14:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b217554c-addb-4bee-bcdc-64974b62d4a6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b217554c-addb-4bee-bcdc-64974b62d4a6 11th March 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/001289-2021 Find a Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/a79f6bea-51ba-4e13-8982-35c8f2c5ac07 Redacted Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/a985b3d4-33b2-487c-a17f-4796ba20dda0 Redacted Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/84bfad03-dc7f-4559-8931-644fb98d3c70 Redacted Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/b3feb5e1-30a6-48de-bacc-ad86fd46f668 Redacted Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/75f7408d-0e65-42af-9764-11c3641405ab Redacted Documents ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/cabinet-office ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
