Summary of the contracting process

NY Highways Limited procured occupational clothing and protective equipment for its workforce: personal protective equipment (PPE), workwear and uniforms, including associated clothing and accessories. The requirement was for the supply of these goods rather than construction, consultancy or other services. Delivery was required in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged through the NEPO 419 Workwear and PPE Framework and covered a single requirement for the buyer. This is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors of workplace safety equipment, protective clothing, branded workwear and staff uniforms. Suppliers serving public-sector or highways organisations may find the requirement particularly comparable, as the goods are intended for operational employees who need suitable protective and work-specific clothing. The buyer is NY Highways Limited, based at County Hall in Northallerton, North Yorkshire.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. NY Highways Limited made a direct award through the NEPO 419 Workwear and PPE Framework, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. Healthy Bean Ltd was selected as the supplier and is recorded as an SME. The contract was signed on 11 July 2026 for £1,455,000, inclusive of the stated contract value. The award was evaluated on price. The procurement rationale identifies two ranked direct awards, covering framework lots 6 and 9, and one flexible direct award covering framework lot 3. The underlying published lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. One bid was recorded for the requirement.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from a highways organisation for a combined PPE, workwear and uniform supply arrangement, with price as the decisive evaluation basis. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable sourcing and distribution across the United Kingdom, with the capacity to provide several product types through one supply route. Relevant capability includes understanding workplace hazards, matching protective equipment and workwear to operational roles, maintaining consistent sizing and stock availability, and supplying uniforms to agreed specifications. Experience of public-sector purchasing and the NEPO 419 Workwear and PPE Framework would be commercially relevant, particularly the ability to use ranked or flexible direct-award routes. An SME has secured this award, indicating that specialist suppliers with suitable fulfilment capacity can compete alongside larger distributors.
