Delivery is required across the East Midlands, supporting the Association’s operations in and around Nottingham.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established distribution and stock-management capability across workwear, PPE, cleaning and hygiene ranges. Applicants must demonstrate the required legal, financial and technical capacity and meet the minimum thresholds in the participation questionnaire.

Shortlisted suppliers must provide samples from a specified product basket and take part in a structured assessment comprising a 20-minute presentation, 25-minute product demonstration and 15-minute question-and-answer session. The final stage requires pricing for the Authority’s core PPE, workwear and hygiene basket.
