Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College procured college uniforms and associated kits, including protective, safety, waterproof and weatherproof clothing, special clothing, footwear and clothing accessories (CPV 35113400). The goods are intended for students, with students or their parents and carers buying items directly; bursary funding may be used where applicable. The requirement is centred on the college’s Rochdale campus in England, with the procurement record also allowing delivery across the United Kingdom and other stated territories. Suppliers must support both physical and online retail: the service includes access to a local shop and a fully functional e-commerce facility with online returns. Returns must be free of charge to students and the college. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 2 August 2026, and the award was made on 5 August 2026. ICON SPORTS GROUP UK LTD was awarded the contract at a published value of £0.01. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027, with an option for four further 12-month extensions subject to satisfactory performance. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The requirement was evaluated through an open competition for goods, covering the supply and associated retail provision of uniforms and kits. The published award value appears nominal and should not be treated as the likely level of student or parent purchasing under the arrangement.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need experience supplying education or specialist clothing, with the range and stock capacity to provide uniforms and associated kits reliably. A local physical retail outlet, or a practical arrangement giving students and families access to a nearby shop, is central to the model. Suppliers would also need a robust e-commerce operation covering product selection, ordering, payments and straightforward online returns, with the ability to process returns without charging students or the college. Because purchases are made by students or their parents and carers, the supplier needs clear customer service and retail processes, while also being able to handle bursary-funded purchases. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly suited to this requirement.
