UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chorley Council, in collaboration with South Ribble Borough Council, is planning a procurement process for the supply and delivery of personal protective equipment (PPE) and workwear, with a projected gross contract value of £136,000. The process is currently in the planning stage and will cover goods falling under the industry categories of occupational clothing, outerwear, and protective footwear. Organisations interested in this project can express their interest by 6th July 2026 through the Chest procurement portal. The initiative spans the geographic locations of Chorley and Leyland, UK, with contract execution anticipated from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2028, extendable by a year.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in PPE and workwear, particularly those that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the lot is specifically aimed at SMEs. Companies that can offer a wide range of occupational garments and footwear will find this tender potentially lucrative, providing a foundation for business growth through engagement with local governance bodies. Participation in this planning stage allows businesses to influence and align their offerings with the councils' service specifications and commercial models, enhancing the potential for securing future contracts.
