Selected PPE Products Return to NHS Supply Chain From PPE Channel (ICN 1239)

Change:

• The dedicated PPE Supply Channel was established in March 2020 to increase the supply of specific PPE products to the NHS and broader health care sector.
• The responsibility for supply of a number of products was transferred from NHS Supply Chain to the PPE Cell.
• From 1 April 2021, the following 19 product codes currently supplied and serviced by the National Supply Disruption Response (NSDR) will move back to NHS Supply Chain.

Impact:

• The affected product codes are available to order from Thursday 1 April 2021.
• Online catalogue descriptions are currently being updated for the affected product codes.
• Core PPE will remain available via the dedicated PPE channel.
• Please see our Downloads ▼ section to refer to the product listing for further information on the affected product codes.

Next Steps:

• In an emergency, any supply and/or potential supply disruption concerns can still be reported to the Government’s NSDR.
• Further information on the NSDR can be found on the GOV.UK website. Please see our Useful Links section.
• If you have any further questions, please contact your local NHS Supply Chain Customer Relationship Manager or Customer Services Advisor.
