Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

De Montfort University in Leicester has completed the award stage for the provision of healthcare personnel uniforms, classified under protective and safety clothing. The contract was awarded to Grahame Gardner Ltd, effective from 4th July 2025 until 3rd July 2028, with potential extensions totalling up to 60 months. The procurement process involved a mini competition through the ESPO Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Clothing framework, specifically Lot 3 for Healthcare Workwear. This contract is focused on delivering to various locations including the UK and several territories overseas.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in protective uniform manufacturing, particularly those capable of fulfilling NHS core uniform requirements. Companies like small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find it challenging as the project isn't tailored for such entities. However, established firms with capacity and experience in large-scale production of healthcare workwear would be well-suited to benefit from this sector, especially given the potential for contract extension based on performance and evolving requirements.
