UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required the supply of workwear wellington boots. This is a goods procurement for footwear, intended for delivery across the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement as its shared service provider. The requirement concerns supplying protective or practical workwear footwear rather than services, construction or wider clothing provision. The named procurement covers one requirement for wellingtons under reference CSP26781. Businesses operating in workwear, safety footwear, occupational clothing supply or footwear distribution would be the closest commercial fit, particularly those able to source and deliver standardised wellington products for a public research organisation operating across the UK.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It followed a below-threshold limited competition, using a competitive quotation procedure rather than an open tender. One lot was awarded to KNIGHTS CORPORATE WORKWEAR LTD. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026, with a contract period from 25 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £10,578.75 excluding VAT and £12,694.50 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies footwear as the relevant classification. The stated evaluation route was competitive quotation, within a limited competition procurement exercise. This was a contract details notice and not a call for competition.

This award provides a clear example of UK Research and Innovation’s demand for workwear wellingtons and its use of below-threshold limited competition with competitive quotations. A supplier seeking similar work would need dependable access to suitable wellington footwear, the ability to meet a defined goods requirement, and reliable delivery arrangements covering the United Kingdom. Commercial credibility would also depend on responding efficiently to quotation exercises and supplying consistent products to public-sector purchasing requirements. Workwear specialists, safety-footwear distributors, manufacturers and established occupational clothing suppliers are the most closely aligned competitors. The short contract period and modest procurement scale indicate a focused supply requirement rather than a large managed service, so businesses should be capable of handling a discrete footwear order without relying on wider clothing or service provision.
