Wondering how to offer services to the Government?
If you have been looking at the recent coronavirus updates in the UK you will have heard that many organisations were offering goods to the Government in recent months and getting no response. This was reported to have been due to there being no real central clearance system in place at the time to deal with these offers.
The UK Government have now set up a portal for this need. This means that if you are a business or organisation who can supply various goods and services to the Government or the NHS (these can be both medical and non-medical - see below for both options), you can now simply apply online to deliver these services.
Your company or organisation may currently be in the perfect position to supply The UK Government and/or The NHS with the goods and service that they desperately need during the Covid-19 pandemic. Below are all the ways to quickly apply to get your organisation into the position of being a supplier:
How to supply medical related goods to the Government / NHS
If you supply medical related goods in large quantities, particularly Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), you can now proceed to the portal today to find out if you can be a supplier.

What do I need to have available when I apply?
You will be taken to the portal where you will be asked simple questions about the support that you are able to give. If you have a company number then you should have it available if requested. Once your online form has been submitted you will be contacted if your support is needed.
What is required if I am supplying goods?
If you are are intending to supply goods you will be asked to supply technical specifications. It is also highly likely that you may be asked to supply samples of your goods for quality and evaluation purposes, so be ready to do this if needed.
What if I have smaller supplies of goods?
If you do not have large quantities or bulk supplies of goods you may still be eligible to supply your limited services. In this case it is suggested that you contact your Local Council and supply them with information about what you have available.
