Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish details of the contract awarded to Clipper Logistics to operate the nationwide personal protective equipment supply chain.

The Department has awarded multiple contracts for the supply and distribution of personal protective equipment to the National Health Service under the processes detailed in the Procurement Policy Note 01/20. This has ensured the availability of critical items that could not be acquired in the necessary timeframe by using the standard procurement processes. Procurement Regulations require the publication of Contract Award Notices in the Official Journal of the European Union and the publication of certain information on Contracts Finder about contracts awarded. Notices will be published in line with those rules.
