Summary of the contracting process

Star Academies is conducting a procurement process for the provision of uniforms across all their schools. The process, initiated through a restricted procedure tender, aims to establish a contract with a single supplier. The selected supplier must supply uniforms to all schools in compliance with the specified requirements, including an online webstore provision and physical selling events. With a contract value of £2,750,000, the tender presents an opportunity for suppliers in the clothing, footwear, and accessories category to expand their business by providing uniform services to pupils and parents within the academy's network.

The tender by Star Academies offers business growth opportunities for uniform suppliers by requiring a comprehensive provision of clothing items to multiple schools. The procurement stage is currently active, with a contract period spanning from June 2025 to May 2030. Businesses operating in the clothing, textiles, and related items sector are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Suppliers need to demonstrate financial stability, relevant insurance cover, and other criteria outlined in the tender documents to qualify for consideration. The procurement method being used is a selective procedure, allowing Star Academies to evaluate and select suppliers based on quality and cost criteria specified in the award process.

Notice Title

Star Academies Uniform Provision

Notice Description

Star Academies is looking to run an FTS (EU) compliant tender with the intention of creating a contract with a single supplier. This will be a restricted process and a process timetable can be found in the documents. The supplier selected must be able to provide the complete provision of uniform supply and sales to pupils / parents across all Star schools. As a growing Trust, we anticipate that the scope of this tender will expand to include uniforms at all new schools that open or join the Trust before the contract start date and during the contract term.

This will include the relevant minimum service level requirements (SLA/KPIs) for the successful tenderer.
