## Summary

Norfolk County Council has completed a procurement process for the urgent supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) under the title "Supplies of Personal Protective Equipment". The contract, valued at £546,113.10, falls under the Medical Equipment industry category and was conducted without prior publication due to the immediate need stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement procedure was executed according to regulation 32 2(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, with the contract period running from 9th April 2020 to 16th May 2020. The delivery addresses were located in the East of England, United Kingdom, and the award notice was formally published on 28th May 2020.

This procurement initiative offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in the supply of medical equipment and healthcare-related products. Companies that can swiftly respond to similar urgent needs and demonstrate a capacity for high-quality production may find themselves well-positioned in future tenders. The focus on SMEs in the tender's suitability also indicates a strong inclination towards providing smaller enterprises with a chance to compete in the burgeoning healthcare supply sector.
