What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Contracting Authority is looking to appoint one single provider (this tender will NOT be split into lots) to supply a range of PPE, Footwear and Corporate Wear products across the Contracting Authorities sites. A full scope of the Contracting Authority's requirements can be found in document Appendix A Specification and Appendix C Products and Pricing.

The Contracting Authority wishes to appoint a single Provider who can clearly demonstrate the ability to meet our requirements and who offers the most advantageous tender.

It is anticipated that the contract term will be from 1st December 2026 to 30th November 2028, with the option to extend incrementally for a period of 1+1 years (subject to contract review and budget availability).

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Oct 2028, 23:59 BST.

CPV: Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories

  • Social Value
  • Price
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
