We are working with Trading Standards Institute (TSI) and the British Safety Industry federation (BSIF) by reporting these suppliers/providers who we believe are wrongly exploiting the current situation. We are doing our best to overcome shortages by sourcing products from alternative suppliers of PPE, but in some cases the prices of these products are significantly above normal due to demand and in other cases they do not meet the correct PPE regulations that could put the public or medical professionals at risk if sold improperly. Through this effort we continue to find cost effective alternatives and we are happy to work with our customers purchasing departments to try and negotiate bulk discount prices.Īs products become available we will list them here.Īlthough we now have to pass on increases and surcharges please be assured that we are not inflating our profits. To help mitigate such increases, we set up a PPE sourcing team in Q2 2020 tasked to source reliable alternative global manufacturers of these types of products in short supply to be able to offer our customers alternative similar products. Unfortunately from this point on we will have to include any additional government or increased freight surcharges applied to these products. Main manufacturers are also being asked to prioritise front line care workers. Some national governments have also restricted access to PPE products, and in some cases are applying additional export surcharges.
However, due to continued shortages and unprecedented high demand globally, we are seeing monthly cost price increases imposed by many of our PPE suppliers for items such as gloves and respirators. Throughout the ongoing global pandemic we have strived to limit any increases to the selling price of all our main PPE brands. In these continuing unprecedented times we have had to deal with product supply restrictions, monthly price increases and surcharges being placed on our purchase orders for goods, particularly for critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). You can learn more about this effort here. Although this has now come to an end and VAT is once again chargeable on PPE products, a group of expert GAMBICA members including Camlab have come together to recommend to HMRC that all PPE used in charitably funded medical and veterinary research be eligible for zero rate VAT. The UK Government offered a temporary VAT holiday on PPE products from May 1st to October 31st 2020.
