Scottish Borders Council has completed a procurement process with the title "Purchase of Personal Protective Equipment." This public tender falls under the goods category, specifically aimed at obtaining emergency supplies such as hand sanitiser and face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing participation from multiple suppliers.
