What counts as NHS PPE tenders here?

Personal protective equipment bought by NHS and other healthcare buyers: gloves, masks, respirators, aprons, gowns and visors. PPE for other buyers is on the uniform and PPE hub.

Classified

This hub is chosen by buyer or place, which the catalogue does not describe, so it uses no classification.

Matched by text

The buyer's name contains one of: ppe, personal protective, gloves, face mask, aprons, gowns, respirator, visors, nhs, hospital, health, healthcare, integrated care, ambulance, primary care. A word match is not a judgment of what is bought, so these are labelled as matches.

  1. Open the official notice

    Every notice above links to its page here and to its record on Find a Tender or Contracts Finder. The documents there are the tender; this page is not.
  2. Check the dates

    Note the deadline and any clarification or expression-of-interest date. Forecast and planning notices have no bid deadline yet.
  3. Check the route to market

    A framework or dynamic purchasing system call-off needs a place on that agreement first; an open procedure does not.
  4. Look at who won before

    The winners above show who has delivered this kind of contract recently and for which buyers.

Read the buyer’s own notice before you spend a day on any of these.
