This contract falls under the industry category of protective and safety clothing, specifically classified by CPV code 35113400. The procurement has progressed to the award stage as of October 2023. The tender was concluded through a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

The delivery location for the goods is in Epping, England, with the postal code CM16 4BZ.
