Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scotland Gas Networks (SGN), a gas production, transport and distribution organisation, procured the supply of personal protective equipment, first-aid supplies and related accessories. The requirement is classified as protective gear and covers goods for delivery in the United Kingdom. It is intended to support SGN’s operational and workplace safety needs across its activities. The appointed supplier is Protective Wear Supplies (PWS) Ltd, a large Portsmouth-based business specialising in protective wear. Relevant suppliers include distributors and manufacturers able to provide a broad range of personal protective equipment, first-aid products and accessories for a major gas network operator, with the capacity to support delivery across the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. SGN awarded the contract to Protective Wear Supplies (PWS) Ltd on 7 August 2026. The contract value is £14,800,000 and it was signed on 7 August 2026. The process used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, following a regulated tender involving a pre-qualification questionnaire and invitation to tender through the Jaggaer system. Three bids were recorded. Evaluation used quality and price criteria: the published scoring allocated 100 to quality and 40 to price. The requirement was organised as a framework agreement. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and contract are published against it.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from SGN for a comprehensive personal protective equipment and first-aid supply capability. A credible future competitor would need to offer reliable access to protective gear, first-aid products and associated accessories, manage a broad product range and maintain dependable distribution across the United Kingdom. The successful route combined pre-qualification and invitation-to-tender stages, so suppliers should be prepared to evidence their suitability before submitting a detailed offer. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, indicating that product suitability, service reliability and the ability to meet operational requirements matter alongside competitive pricing. Businesses with established supply capacity, strong quality controls and experience serving safety-critical or infrastructure customers are likely to be best placed.
