Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University has successfully completed an open procurement process for the "Provision of Sports Clothing." The contract was awarded to Kukri GB Limited. This process was conducted under the auspices of the UK Procurement Act 2023, with the legal framework ensuring an open and competitive environment for suppliers. Specifically, this involves the procurement of sportswear and related services for NTU's student sports club teams, Sports Department staff, and students, all within the Nottingham region known as UKF14. The contract, valued at £345,000 gross (£287,500 net), was signed on 12th June 2026, kicking off a period of fulfilment running from 15th June 2026 to 14th June 2030, indicating a long-term commitment to quality and durability in sports apparel procurement.

This tender offers excellent growth opportunities for businesses proficient in the design, supply, and branding of high-performing sportswear. Given the NTU's emphasis on professional-quality, durable, and custom-branded sports clothing, businesses specializing in bespoke sports apparel are particularly well-suited to thrive. The contract demands include a variety of sizes in university colours, with options for incorporating logos and, potentially, sponsor branding, thus providing avenues for creative, SME-sized enterprises to showcase their capabilities in sports apparel design and production on a recognised platform like NTU.
