Module 5 - Procurement

Module 5 became operational on October 24, 2023. In this module, an examination will take place, with recommendations made concerning the acquisition and dissemination of vital healthcare-related equipment and supplies to end-users in all four nations of the United Kingdom. These supplies encompass personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, and oxygen. The module will evaluate the resilience and efficiency of the procurement procedures, the suitability of the acquired items (including their specifications, quality, and quantity), and the efficiency of their distribution to the end-users. Furthermore, it will explore the procurement of lateral flow tests and PCR tests on a national scale across the UK.
