Please note that there is no guaranteed level of spend. Kits need to be delivered in an agreed timely manner, time is of the essence in this contract. The kit needs to be aligned to current trends and styles. The quality and price of the teamwear needs to be considered. The kits are for our student-based teams and the quantity is anticipated to be in line with the indicative quantity on the pricing schedule. Team kits will not be purchased annually but will rather be replaced as required. All team kits are to be branded in accordance with the Solent Brand Guidelines. Team kits will be purchased
by the University as well as being purchased directly by students. The team kits must be available for to students to purchase securely via an online shop on the Supplier's website which should be clearly branded with the University's logo and in accordance with the Solent Brand Guidelines.

The clothing needs to be branded with the Solent University logo and made available to students to purchase securely via an online shop on the Supplier's website which should be clearly branded
