UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School is seeking one supplier for school uniform for its families and wider school community. The requirement covers both branded and non-branded items, with branding limited to the school blazer, school jumper, school tie and white sports polo shirt. Suppliers are encouraged to offer a complete range of other generic uniform items at competitive prices. This is a goods contract covering blazers, outerwear, shirts, sportswear and ties, serving the school community connected with the school in Upminster. The appointed supplier will provide the uniform range rather than separate suppliers for individual product groups, so the opportunity suits businesses able to offer both branded and generic school clothing through a single service.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It has two stages, beginning with selection and shortlisting, followed by an invitation to tender and shortlisting for presentation. Expressions of interest are due by 25 September 2026 at 12:00. Submissions must be made electronically through the Bidiful Portal as one ZIP file. The estimated gross value is £300,000. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible maximum extension to 31 March 2032. Evaluation is weighted 60% price and 40% quality. Two 12-month extensions may be agreed in writing by both parties.

This opportunity suits schoolwear suppliers with the range and capacity to source, brand and distribute blazers, jumpers, ties, sports polos and other generic uniform items. The buyer expects suppliers to provide uniform samples and written information, take part in presentations and provide supplier references. Bids will be assessed against the contract’s objectives, with the shortlisting process informed by the submitted information and samples, followed by moderation of written statements, presentations and reference checks. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses are therefore well placed if they can combine reliable branded garment production with a broad catalogue of competitively priced standard school uniform, consistent quality and dependable fulfilment for families and the school community.
