Notice Description
Consolidation of PPE, Workwear, and Health & Safety Consumables
Lot Information
Lot 1
Thames Water is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement with a single supplier for the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), everyday workwear, and health & safety consumables. This includes items such as trousers, jackets, shirts, t-shirts, polo shirts, overalls, and various protective gear for head, foot, eye, ear, and hand protection. The aim is to consolidate these categories to enhance commercial value, improve operational efficiencies, and standardise products. The procurement process will involve a two-stage approach, with the second stage being an E-Auction to drive additional value. The successful supplier will be expected to ensure on-time and in-full (OTIF) deliveries, provide inventory management solutions, and integrate ordering innovations such as webshops and SAP integrations.
Options: Any agreement awarded would be for a maximum initial period of 3 years, with options to extend for two further, one year periods.
Renewal: Thames Water envisages that the contract will be awarded for an initial term of 3 years with option to extend annually up to a maximum term of 8 years.
