Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2021 to Question 301 on Protective Clothing: Manufacturing Industries, what value of personal protective equipment (PPE) was procured from each of those companies; and what proportion each of those values comprise of the total amount of value of PPE procured by his Department from all sources since 1 October 2020.

All contracts, including those for UK Make, are publicly available on contracts finder. The precise values for individual contracts may be subject to revision and approved signed contract variation as the contract proceeds and to date, available data shows that the largest UK Make contract is less than 2% of the total of all contracts across the programme.

The Department has contracted with over 30 manufacturers in the United Kingdom for around 3.9 billion items of personal protective equipment (PPE) and this represents approximately 12% of the total PPE ordered. The total percentage value of overall UK Make COVID-19 PPE contracts is 8.9%.
