Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University has recently completed the procurement process for branded uniforms tailored specifically for its students and staff, accompanied by fitting days, a timetable delivery plan, exchange dates, and an online shop for students. The procurement, categorised under 'goods', involves the supply of occupational clothing and educational services, with delivery spread across multiple regions throughout the United Kingdom. The project, which followed a direct procurement method below threshold and thus did not require competition, was awarded on 8th September 2025. The contract commenced on 1st August 2025 and is set to conclude by 31st July 2028, with potential extensions. Oxford, home to the buying organisation, serves as the project’s central location.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in clothing manufacturing and logistics to expand into the educational sector, providing tailored solutions for institutions. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), like supplier Grahame Gardner Limited, are well-placed to engage in such projects, leveraging their flexibility and specialised expertise in occupational clothing to enhance service offerings. The £200,000 contract value and a potential extension by up to 24 months signal growth opportunities for similar businesses aiming to scale their operations in partnership with public sector entities.
