LONDON, Oct. 30 -- The government of the United Kingdom issued the following news:
As outlined in a written ministerial statement made by Karin Smyth MP, Minister of State for Health (Secondary Care), the Department of Health and Social Care is publishing corrections regarding personal protective equipment (PPE) procurement in the early pandemic.
The PPE procurement in the early pandemic page was published alongside a statement to Parliament by the government at the time in November 2021 (with further updates in February 2022). The page and statement describe procurement of PPE during the early months of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The 3 further corrections to the previous publication are:
* adding LUXE LIFESTYLE LTD to the list of High Priority Lane suppliers following the discovery of information identified during a review of documentation in preparation for module 5 (procurement) of the UK COVID-19 Inquiry (public hearings for module 5 were held in March 2025). Information on LUXE LIFESTYLE LTD was included in the Cabinet Office corporate witness statement to the UK COVID-19 Inquiry dated 5 July 2024
* amending the referral details for P1F Ltd, another High Priority Lane supplier, to replace the previously named person with the FCO Donations Team
* correcting a spelling mistake to a supplier's name under the New Buy heading -Inivos Ltd is now correctly listed (it was previously misspelled Invios)
Corrected lists of routes used to identify suppliers
The following lists indicate the corrected range of routes used to identify suppliers as outlined above.
High Priority Lane
The 'source of referral' is the individual or team that identified the organisation and the 'actual referrer' is the individual or team who directed the offer to the high priority route.
