Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Sleeper Limited, a railway services organisation based in Inverness, UK, has awarded a contract for the supply and management of staff uniforms and associated accessories, including Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) that meets safety standards. The contract, valued at £450,000, involves both the existing Caledonian Sleeper uniform and a new specification aligned with the brand's quality. This procurement follows a selective, negotiated procedure with prior competition, and the process has now reached the award stage, having been completed on 19th September 2025. The successful supplier for this contract is Workwear Express, located in Durham, UK.

This contract represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in occupational clothing and accessories. Companies with expertise in manufacturing and inventory management, especially those capable of providing bespoke garment solutions, are well-positioned to benefit. The inclusion of criteria like community benefit and compliance with fair working practices suggests that suppliers who can demonstrate social value through community initiatives or offer sustainability-focused services—such as recycling schemes—will have a competitive advantage. With a potential extension option of up to 24 months, this tender offers significant prospects for sustained business growth within the UK market.
