## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council has completed a procurement process for the urgent purchase of surgical masks, necessitated by a reactive stock issue caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. This open procedure was essential due to the abnormal market conditions of supply and demand for essential goods, with the contract awarded to Streamline Corporate on 30 April 2020. The delivery for this procurement is designated for North Lanarkshire, with a total contract value of £166,000. This procurement falls under the category of goods and was classified under general public services.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the medical supply and equipment industry, especially those specialising in personal protective equipment (PPE). Businesses capable of rapidly scaling production and delivering high-quality surgical masks in response to urgent health needs may find this contract particularly within their reach. The experience of navigating reactive procurement processes during emergencies could also enhance the competitive edge of such businesses in future opportunities.
