Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured personal protective equipment and clothing for delivery in England. The requirement covers protective and safety clothing, classified under CPV 35113400, and was arranged through ESPO Framework 144_23, Lots 1 and 2. This is a goods requirement for the council’s operational needs, with Redditch Borough Council acting as the buying organisation. The scope is therefore relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors supplying workplace PPE and associated protective clothing. Businesses serving public-sector customers across England may also find the procurement useful as a reference for the type of clothing and safety equipment purchased by a borough council under an established framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 September 2026 through a direct award under ESPO Framework 144_23. The selected supplier was Evolve Corporate Ltd trading as PK Safety. The awarded value is £60,000. The contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 8 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 23:59. The procurement used a direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, with the requirement described as covering ESPO Framework Lots 1 and 2. The award is active, and the contract period begins immediately after the recorded award date.

This procurement indicates established demand from Redditch Borough Council for a broad supply of personal protective equipment and safety clothing through a public-sector framework. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be specialist PPE manufacturers, framework-approved distributors and wholesalers able to provide compliant protective garments reliably across England. Credible competitors would need a catalogue covering council operational clothing and related safety equipment, dependable sourcing and fulfilment, and the administrative capability to transact through framework arrangements and direct awards. SME suppliers are expressly suitable for this requirement, so smaller businesses with public-sector procurement experience, robust stock management and the capacity to support an organisation-wide supply need may be well positioned when comparable work returns.
