Summary of the contracting process

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council sought a sole supplier to provide personal protective equipment (PPE), work uniform and related safety accessories for Totally Local Company Limited in Stockport. The requirement covers occupational clothing, specialist workwear and accessories, with the detailed product range set out in the pricing schedule and tender response documents. The successful supplier would need to support two ordering routes: purchase orders and an online ordering platform. The buyer expected these routes to be used in roughly equal proportions. The goods would be supplied for operations in the Stockport area. This is a goods procurement for businesses supplying workplace clothing, protective equipment and associated safety items, particularly those able to manage a broad product range and provide an online purchasing facility.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was planned to run from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions taking the maximum end date to 11 August 2030. Its estimated value was £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). Price carried 70% of the evaluation weighting and quality 30%. The procurement has been cancelled. Following receipt of tenders, Totally Local Company identified errors in the pricing schedule and decided to abandon the tender while preparing a more appropriate product list. It stated that the requirement would be retendered after refinement.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in PPE, occupational clothing, uniforms and safety ancillaries, and with the range and stock capacity to serve a continuing organisational requirement. Businesses should be able to supply products against a detailed pricing schedule, manage orders through conventional purchase orders and provide a functioning online platform for electronic ordering. The intended arrangement required one supplier, so bidders would need sufficient breadth, fulfilment capacity and account-management capability to act as the single source across the provision. Quality as well as pricing formed part of the evaluation, favouring suppliers able to demonstrate reliable product performance, specification compliance, service delivery and practical ordering arrangements. The cancelled requirement is expected to return as a retender once the product list and pricing schedule have been revised.
