UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Katherine Warington School is seeking up to two suppliers for the supply of school uniforms. This is a goods requirement covering occupational clothing, special workwear and accessories, intended for use by the school community. The buying organisation is Katherine Warington School, based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, and delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The opportunity is structured as a single requirement rather than separate product lots. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide a comprehensive school uniform range and manage fulfilment across the requirement. It is relevant to uniform manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and specialist educationwear providers with the product range, ordering arrangements and distribution capability to serve a school buyer.

The process reached tender: the school invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 9 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 19 October 2026 at 10:00. Electronic submission was allowed, with access and responses handled through MultiQuote. The contract is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £125,000 excluding VAT, or £150,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Award decisions will be based on price at 50%, uniform requirements at 25%, service requirements at 15% and added value at 10%.

This opportunity suits suppliers already equipped to supply school uniforms at an established commercial scale, including businesses specialising in educationwear, workwear or related clothing and accessories. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate that their product range meets the school’s uniform requirements and that they can provide dependable ordering, customer service and fulfilment. The evaluation gives equal importance to price and the combined quality factors, so suppliers should be prepared to explain their service offer, any added value and how their uniform range meets the stated requirements. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to smaller specialist suppliers as well as larger uniform providers.
