Anyone here in NHS Procurement?

[pingu393]

I'm involved in a 3d printing project to produce face masks for the NHS, but we will only produce about 1000 per week, but there are others out there who can produce close to 30000 per week. I think that our resource is being wasted.

Is there someone here who can point me to someone in NHS Procurement who could tell us what is really needed.

I am but not in an area to be able to help you, unfortunately...

We've been asked to direct any supplier/manufacturer queries to the below, which will hopefully be of some use to you:

I am involved in supplying the NHS.
We tend to only supply them with tools and equipment for maintenance engineers.
However we do supply some PPE.
They and everybody else is crying out for FFP3 masks and surgical masks.
Not sure how you can 3d print those though 😁
