Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority recently completed a procurement process for the "Provision of Workwear Uniform (Safety & Corporate) for Midland Metro Limited (MML)", indicating the award and contract updates on 4th November 2025. The contract, active as of 1st November 2025, is scheduled to run until 31st October 2028, with potential extensions of two additional 12-month periods. Based in Birmingham, the Authority facilitated this procurement under the open method, targeting goods such as corporate and safety clothing, with Burlington Uniforms Ltd being the awarded supplier. The procurement fell under a below-threshold, open competition category, a special utility regime, ensuring a high-quality supplier provides branded corporate and safety uniforms across the UK.

Businesses operating in the manufacturing or distribution of corporate and safety clothing, especially those specialised in high-visibility and protective attire, would find opportunities in this contract model. Companies of small and medium size, similar to Burlington Uniforms Ltd, demonstrate suitability for similar tenders, given the importance of competitive pricing and quality materials. With a substantial contract value of £303,000 and an emphasis on ongoing supplier performance, such contracts offer growth potential for businesses looking to expand their operations in public sector procurement, particularly in specialised uniform production. Additionally, the structure allows companies to build long-term relationships with government agencies through consistent service and quality delivery.
