PPE Portal – Register for your free supply
7 October 2020
Dear Colleagues,
You should have recently received an email inviting you to register on the PPE portal so that you are able to order PPE free of charge, the email would have been from (please note this email address does not accept incoming emails): ppe.dedicated.supply.channel@notifications.service.gov.uk
Contractors are asked to check their mailboxes and junk mail folders for this email. Depending on the provider group this may include their NHS mail account (Community Pharmacy) , NHS BSA (Dental and Optometry) as these databases were used to obtain contact email addresses. If a contractor cannot find this email or is having any difficulties in registering they should contact the portal customer service team on 0800 876 6802.
Please make sure that you register as soon as possible, so that you can order your full supply of Covid related PPE from a central inventory. Order limits have been set according to patient activity levels but if any provider feels their limit is incorrect then they can contact the portal customer service team on 0800 876 6802.
- Orders through the portal should arrive within 48 hours if placed before 1pm. Orders placed after 1pm will be subject to an additional 24-hours. Information on what items are available for your sector and size are available on the DHSC guidance page here; https://www.gov.uk/guidance/ppe-portal-how-to-order-emergency-personal-protective-equipment
- If contractors have any queries please contact the PPE portal customer services on 0800 876 6802.
