Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Truro & Penwith Academy Trust bought logoed school uniform for its secondary schools. The requirement covers the supply of clothing and related uniform items, rather than construction or a service. Delivery was to the Trust’s secondary schools in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The buyer is an education trust based in Truro. The procurement was divided into one requirement for a 5+1 contract covering the Trust’s secondary schools. This is a schoolwear supply opportunity, relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and specialist uniform providers able to provide branded garments for multiple schools and support delivery across the Trust’s area.

The procurement has been awarded. The award was made to Banner Limited on 16 September 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. Its value is £1,124,941 including the stated currency of GBP. The award followed a further competition under YPO DPS 001021 School Uniforms, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a separate call for competition. Four bids were received, including one from an SME. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, quality at 35%, delivery at 10% and added value at 5%. The contract included a 12-month extension option. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This outcome shows sustained demand from a multi-school academy trust for branded secondary-school uniform at substantial scale. A credible future competitor would need dependable sourcing and fulfilment for logoed garments, consistent product quality, and the operational capacity to serve several schools. Delivery performance was a scored consideration, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable distribution, stock planning and clear arrangements for handling school-specific requirements. Quality and price were the dominant evaluation factors, with added value also assessed. Relevant experience in schoolwear or similarly managed clothing programmes, robust branding and personalisation processes, and the ability to compete through a dynamic purchasing system would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next considered.
