Can't see why people can't treat it like very bad weather and only go out reluctantly. They wouldn't go out jogging with several inches of snow or chucking it down with rain.

No, it’s a procurement exercise and it’s not even clear who the suppliers will be. Nothing to stop the UK Government putting its own orders in now and join the exercise for more later.
Stealing is wholly the incorrect word here. Private companies can sell to whomever they wish - anywhere in the world. Our membership of any such scheme is irrelevant.
