Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government who recommended Inivos Ltd to the personal protective equipment priority lane, and why that company was not included in PPE procurement in the early pandemic, published on 17 November 2021.

Inivos Ltd were not recommended to the Government through the priority personal protective equipment lane, also known as the high priority lane. Inivos Ltd are included in the publication PPE procurement in the early pandemic on the GOV.UK website, under the New Buy section, although the company name has been misspelled as Invios. The Department will seek to correct this error at the earliest opportunity.
