## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) aimed at safeguarding healthcare workers involved in the care of COVID-19 patients. This tender, classified under the CPV codes for garments for biological or chemical protection, resulted in a contract awarded to Robert Housely Ltd, valued at £9,600,000. The contract period commenced on 11th June 2020. This procurement was processed under an alternative method, permitting the award without prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting the urgent need for PPE during the pandemic.
