## Summary

NHS Supply Chain, operated by DHL Supply Chain Limited, is responsible for procuring Combined Safety Syringes and Needles specifically for the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme focusing on the morbidly obese requirement. This procurement falls under the goods category within the medical industry. The open tender process is currently in the planning stage, with the deadline for submission of interest approaching on 22 June 2021. The total value of the contract is estimated at £21,800,000, and products must be delivered to various locations in the UK, primarily under Public Health England's distribution system.
