UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Barking and Dagenham procured personal protective equipment, corporate uniform and associated safety equipment for the Council, its arm’s-length bodies, subsidiaries and partner organisations. The requirement covers four areas: protective footwear, heavy workwear and high-visibility clothing; corporate uniform, including branded uniform; fire-retardant clothing; and equipment such as safety helmets, respirators, safety spectacles, gloves, aprons, first-aid kits and refills. Deliveries are required across multiple locations in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. This is a goods supply opportunity in the occupational safety, workwear, uniform and personal protective equipment market, including protective footwear and safety clothing.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure, with an electronic auction used. It was awarded on 4 August 2026 across all four lots to Bunzl UK Ltd trading as Greenham, Chelmsford Safety Supplies Ltd and SMI Int Group Ltd. The awarded value across the four lots is £1,185,821 excluding VAT (£1,422,985 including VAT). The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an extension option to 31 August 2031 at the Council’s discretion, subject to satisfactory performance. The original tender deadline was 2 March 2026 at noon, enquiries closed on 16 February 2026 at noon, and the planned award period ended on 16 March 2026. Evaluation for each lot weighted price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%.

This award demonstrates established demand from Barking and Dagenham for a broad, multi-category supply capability rather than a single product line. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be able to source and reliably distribute protective footwear, workwear, high-visibility and fire-retardant clothing, branded corporate uniform, and a wide range of safety and first-aid equipment. The award attracted four bids for each lot, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, showing that the requirement can be contested by specialist suppliers as well as larger distributors. Credibility would also require demonstrable product quality, dependable delivery to multiple borough locations, capacity to manage varied catalogue requirements, and a clear, measurable social-value offer. Experience supplying councils or comparable organisations would strengthen a competitor’s position.
