Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority procured a corporate clothing provider to supply clothing branded for the Authority. This is a goods contract for corporate clothing, delivered in South East England. The requirement is focused on branded garments rather than a broader uniform or workwear service. The Authority is the buyer. The contract description says there is no guaranteed spend, so suppliers should understand this as a requirement to provide clothing when ordered rather than a guaranteed volume of purchases. This procurement demonstrates the Authority’s need for a supplier able to provide its branded clothing in the specified delivery area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Arco Ltd. The Authority used a restricted procedure. The award was made on 10 August 2026, for £175,000. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 2 October 2029. The stated contract term is three years, with options for two separate 12-month extensions. The tender description estimates spend at £35,000 a year, but also states that there is no guaranteed spend; the award value is the published awarded amount. The submission deadline was 29 July 2026. The procurement was classed as goods, and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, this award shows demand for a provider able to supply corporate clothing branded for the Authority, with delivery in South East England. Credible suppliers would need to source or produce garments and manage the application and consistent use of the buyer’s branding, while fulfilling orders over a multi-year relationship. The stated absence of guaranteed spend makes flexibility important: a supplier should be able to meet orders without relying on a fixed annual volume. The selected supplier was a large company, and the opportunity was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement used a restricted procedure, so familiarity with participating in a staged selection process would also be relevant.
