Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Provision of Extreme Cold Weather (ECW) Clothing" was initiated by the Ministry of Defence, located at Monxton Road, Andover, United Kingdom. This process aimed to acquire goods for the Field Army and Joint Aviation Command, specifically items such as base layers, jackets, trousers, gloves, and hats to cope with extreme cold weather. The initial contract value was estimated at £8.5 million, with a maximum gross amount of £10.2 million, including a Limit of Liability estimated at £4 million. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, allowing electronic submissions through the Defence Sourcing Portal, with relevant procurement stages including planning, tender, and award. Key dates were the planned contract period from 29th September 2025 to 25th September 2028, with options for extension up to 25th September 2029.

This tender opens numerous opportunities for SMEs in the clothing and textile industry, particularly those specialised in protective and extreme weather clothing. Companies with capabilities in manufacturing and supplying high-quality, durable clothing would find this tender significantly advantageous for business expansion. The involvement of multiple SMEs such as Brigantes Consulting Limited and Level Peak Associates Ltd highlights the competitive opportunity within this sector. As the tender focused on the lowest priced compliant bids against technical specifications, businesses with efficient production capabilities could leverage their price competitiveness to secure potentially long-term government contracts. This contract award and subsequent options to procure similar items could provide a stable revenue stream and boost the company's credentials in supplying to large government entities.
