To ask the Scottish Government which national public sector organisations tendered for PPE, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the financial year 2020-21; which companies or organisations have been awarded contracts from these tender exercises; where these companies or organisations are based, and what the financial value was of each contract awarded to each of these companies or organisations.

All pandemic PPE procurement undertaken by public sector organisations has been conducted in line with the relevant public procurement legislation and policy. In addition, direct awards have taken place using procedures outlined in Regulation 33 within the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulation 2015.
Information on contracts awarded by the Scottish Government for PPE was included in the answers to PQs S6W-02211 and S6W-02212 on 28 September 2021.
Information on contracts let by other national public sector organisations is a matter for those bodies.
