I know some people in a healthcare products company
who have been in the business for ages. They offered the government PPE from their stock and were ignored for ages. Then they were approached by someone who said that for an upfront fee would ensure that their offer was successful. This was par for the course of how things were and are done. Competent well-established companies were ignored in favour of spiv operations introduced by mates, MPs, Gove and Patel among others.
