UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Sport & Active Wellness Kit," intended to replace its existing sportswear supplier contract expiring on 31st December 2025. This initiative aims to forge a long-term partnership with a sportswear supplier to provide university-branded sports apparel. Situated in Oxford, UK, this procurement caters to the needs of approximately 17,000 students and 2,800 staff members, spanning across 39 sports clubs and additional community members. The procurement process, currently undergoing supplier engagement, includes scheduled 1-2-1 online meetings with potential suppliers, with the engagement phase concluding on 28th November 2025. The contract, amounting to a gross value of £180,000, is expected to commence on 1st June 2026 and may extend until 31st May 2031.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for suppliers in the sports goods and equipment industry, particularly those specialising in sportswear and recreational services. Firms with expertise in creating durable, branded apparel that can bolster institutional visibility would find this contract advantageous.
