Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured the supply and delivery of school uniforms and related accessories for educational establishments. The requirement covers clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories, with delivery in Glasgow or the surrounding area. The council is the buyer and also acts as a central purchasing body. The procurement is for goods rather than services or construction work. Suppliers would need to support uniform requirements across education settings, including the practical fulfilment and delivery of ordered items. The arrangement is relevant to uniform manufacturers, wholesalers, specialist schoolwear retailers and businesses providing associated accessories, particularly those able to serve establishments across the Glasgow area. The scope also suits suppliers with established ordering, stock management, personalisation or distribution operations for education customers.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Glasgow City Council used an open procedure for one lot, with a framework agreement allowing up to three participants. ASPIRE INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, Border Embroideries Ltd trading as BE Uniforms, and Miyo Brand were awarded the contract. The contract value is £460,000, and it was signed on 28 July 2026. The contract period is 1,440 days. Tenders closed on 7 May 2026 at noon, with bid opening at the same time; bids had to remain valid for 120 days and be submitted electronically in English. Evaluation weighted price at 55%, contract delivery at 30%, sustainability at 10% and Fair Work First at 5%. The council required two relevant supply examples from the previous three years and a minimum score of 60% across questions. The requirement is described as recurring in January or February 2030.

This award shows established demand from Glasgow City Council for education uniforms and accessories delivered locally, using an open procedure and a multi-supplier framework. Competitors would need reliable capacity to supply and distribute relevant products, with evidence of two comparable supply contracts completed during the preceding three years. Experience could come from public or private sector customers, but examples must explain the client, scope, scale, complexity, duration, value and any added value delivered. Financial credibility is important: bidders need positive EBITDA over a three-year period, positive net worth, no insolvency process and compliant statutory filings, or a qualifying parent guarantee. The council also requires employer’s, public and products liability insurance at £10 million, £5 million and £5 million respectively. Strong delivery planning, sustainability and Fair Work First practices would support competitiveness.
