## Summary

The procurement process involves the Procurement & Logistics Service of the United Kingdom, seeking suppliers for FFP3 Facemasks, classified under the medical equipment and pharmaceuticals category. The procurement, currently at the Award stage, is a limited procedure initiated due to extreme urgency, with the need for the supply lasting up to 12 months to address unforeseen circumstances affecting the regular supply chain. The delivery address for the contract is located in Belfast, and the contract was signed on 13 July 2021, with a total value of £170,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in medical equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE). Companies that can offer compatible FFP3 facemasks, especially those designed for smaller faces, could find a competitive advantage. Suppliers capable of meeting urgent demand with the necessary technical specifications will be well-positioned to thrive in this procurement landscape, particularly SMEs looking to establish or expand their presence in the health sector.

## Notice

FFP3 Facemasks

### Procurement Information

This DAC is specifically for a 12-month supply of the S-3V FFP3 facemask. The S-3V mask is designed specifically for those with smaller faces, which do not fit the other available FFP3 masks. The Alpha Solway S-3V FFP3 mask is therefore required for a small number of staff across the region who do not have a suitable fit test result for other masks which are available, as they do not fit well to smaller faces. The extreme urgency of the required supply and the need to ensure technical compatibility means that the timescales of available procurement options cannot be complied with to address the urgent shortage of supply given the health risks to staff and general public of inability to make available appropriate PPE. A total duration of up to12 months is required to account for potentially extended disruption to the normal supply chain due to circumstances unforeseeable by the contracting authority. Measures will be taken by BSO to minimise the value of the DAC and resume normal purchasing through a compliant route once stock becomes available nationally.
