Baroness Mone-linked PPE firm misses deadline to pay £122m
PPE Medpro, a firm with links to Baroness Mone, has failed to meet the deadline to repay £122 million in damages related to a Covid-19 contract. The firm was ordered to make the payment by 16:00 BST on Wednesday after being found to have breached the contract. The contract in question was awarded to PPE Medpro during the pandemic, when the government was scrambling to secure personal protective equipment. However, the firm has now been accused of failing to deliver the agreed-upon items, leading to the court-ordered repayment. The missed deadline adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding Baroness Mone's involvement with PPE Medpro and her role in the awarding of government contracts during the pandemic. The case has raised questions about the transparency and fairness of the procurement process during the public health emergency.
