Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has completed the procurement process for the "4405/AMRC/CK/25 AMRC Uniform Contract", aimed at supplying embroidered uniforms for their Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre located in Catcliffe, South Yorkshire. This procurement falls under the category of clothing, footwear, luggage articles, and accessories, with additional classification in tulle, lace, narrow-woven fabrics, trimmings, and embroidery. Conducted using an open procedure in line with the Procurement Act 2023, the tender process was finalised with the award notice published on 4th August 2025. The awarded contract to Direct Print and Promotions Limited t/a We Do Workwear is set to commence on 8th August 2025 and will run through to the 31st of July 2029, with the procurement aimed at fulfilling the uniform needs of over 500 staff members across various sites.

This contract provides substantial business growth opportunities for companies in the garment and textile industry, particularly those specialising in embroidery services. With a focus on quality and service in addition to pricing, suppliers who can deliver outstanding embroidered apparel with logos will find ample opportunities in such tenders. Although this specific award indicates suitability for larger enterprises rather than SMEs or VCSEs, businesses that can showcase excellence in specialised clothing and accessory production for professional environments might consider exploring similar opportunities in the public procurement landscape. The widespread delivery locations, including the United Kingdom and several international territories, may also appeal to suppliers with robust distribution capabilities.
