Explanation:
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant pressure on the global supply market in terms of a range of products including type IIR masks, fluid resistant masks and gloves. COVID-19 is transmitted via small airborne droplets emitted by infected people when sneezing, coughing or talking. Therefore, a wide array of protective products designed to ensure protection are used such as face masks and gloves. As a consequence of the pace of the virus spread and following Government guidance, surgical masks and gloves must be used by all healthcare workings in an inpatient and social care clinical setting. This has significantly increased the day-to-day usage of the surgical masks and gloves within NHS Wales.
Due to this Government guidance it is essential for NWSSP to purchase a significant quantity of gloves to be able to support NHS Wales during this unprecedented time. Following a rapid review of the market conditions, finite supply and high demand for gloves, NWSSP Partnership would like to inform the market that they have awarded a one off bulk order to PharmaPak Limited for nitrile gloves to ensure continued quality supply.
