Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia bought promotional merchandise and related services for its university-branded products. The appointed supplier is responsible for producing the merchandise, storing stock and fulfilling online orders on the University's behalf. The requirement covers clothing, footwear, luggage and accessories, as well as printed matter, information and promotional products, and promotional services. Goods and fulfilment are associated with the University's Norwich site at Norwich Research Park. This is primarily a goods requirement, with service elements covering storage, order processing and fulfilment. The opportunity is relevant to merchandise manufacturers, branded-goods distributors, print and promotional-product businesses, and fulfilment providers able to manage online orders for an institutional customer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Streamline Corporate Limited. It used a selective call-off from the NWUPC Promotional Merchandise and Clothing framework (OFF3174 NW), rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 8 April 2026 at 17:00. The awarded value is £600,000, with the procurement's stated estimated value ranging from £400,000 to £600,000, all in GBP. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2030, representing an initial three-year term plus an optional one-year extension. The University of East Anglia is the buyer, and the contract is recorded as active within a completed procurement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to combine branded merchandise production with reliable stockholding and online-order fulfilment. Relevant capability includes sourcing and supplying clothing, accessories, luggage, printed materials and other promotional products, while maintaining consistent branding and product quality across a broad range. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to store merchandise, manage inventory, process individual online orders and deliver them accurately for a university customer. Experience supporting institutional or education-sector branding programmes would strengthen a supplier's position, particularly where demand is spread across many product types and orders. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist SMEs with a dependable fulfilment operation may be well placed.
