The Department has signed contracts with 31 United Kingdom-based companies for 3.9 billion units of personal protective equipment (PPE), of which 2.5 billion units have been delivered so far. Currently, 247 million items are yet to be manufactured, although these orders are scheduled to be delivered by the end of March 2022. The 3.9 billion items represent 10.7% of all items ordered during the pandemic.

The following table shows the companies involved in the UK Make programme. Contracts have been signed with two further UK-based companies. However, as some items are not manufactured in the UK, these products are not included in the 3.9 billion total.
