Getting PPE for COVID-19 requirements

Eligible adult social care providers will continue to receive COVID-19 PPE free of charge until 31 March 2024, or until infection prevention and control (IPC) guidance is withdrawn or significantly amended. PPE for COVID-19 requirements can be ordered via the Government PPE portal.

You should not use the portal to order PPE for non-COVID-19 requirements. You should get this through your normal channels.

Visit the portal for full guidance and to place an order.
