The Good Law Project have discovered that a Tory Cllr who also stood as a Tory candidate in two general elections and who had also donated money to the Tory party, was granted a £131.4million in PPE procurement contracts during lockdown last year. He was initially awarded a £28.8million contract in May 2020 and then another £102.6million contract in July 2020.
 
Samir Jassal appears to be well connected and has frequently campaigned with Boris Johnson and David Cameron. He also refers to himself as a friend of Priti Patel’s and names himself as “an adviser to the now Home Secretary Priti Patel between 2014 and 2015” on his linkedIn profile. In fact he lists himself as “an adviser in No.10 during David Cameron’s premiership in 2015” and says he worked with “several other prominent Conservative Party figures, including the Home Secretary Priti Patel and Minister Zac Goldsmith”
 
According to a BBC article published today, at least two hospital trusts have already reported issues with the fit of the model of masks that Jassal had supplied under the contract but Jassal insists that the masks had been “approved by the Health and Safety Executive, the DHSC and the NHS”.
 

The Good Law project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation that uses the law to protect the interests of the public and relies entirely on peoples donations. They challenge abuses of power, exploitation, inequality, and injustice. Here are just some of the cases they’ve taken on over the last year, as listed in the Good Law Project Annual Report…

1) Brought legal proceedings against the government’s use of outdated energy policy that favours fossil fuel developments.

2) Brought legal proceedings against the government to force them to make provisions for school kids without laptops during lockdown.

3) Brought legal proceedings against the government to force them to initiate a public inquiry into why frontline workers didn’t have adequate PPE

4) Brought legal proceedings against the government after they awarded a huge PPE contract to a ‘pest control specialist’ without proper competition or a fair tendering process.

5) Brought legal proceedings against the government over the A-level algorithm fiasco.

6) Issued judicial review proceedings against the government over their award of top public sector jobs to people with personal and political connections to the government.

 

The Good Law Project have sent a pre-action protocol letter to Government initiating legal proceedings and have instructed leading procurement lawyers Jason Coppel QC and Rupert Paines and Bindmans LLP. Please CLICK HERE if you’d like to donate to their legal fund.
