UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ulster University is seeking a supplier for sports kits and leisurewear, classified as clothing and related products (CPV 18000000). The contract is for the supply of items in line with the specification and contract requirements, with suppliers required to include all costs needed to provide the supplies in their commercial offer. This is a re-advertisement of the university’s earlier procurement for sports kit and leisurewear. The buyer is Ulster University, based in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. The published scope relates to one lot covering sports kit and leisurewear; no specific delivery location beyond the university’s buying organisation is stated.

Ulster University invited tenders through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage, and offers were invited electronically through the relevant eTendersNI opportunity. Questions had to be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 15:00, and tenders by 19 October 2026 at 15:00. The estimated contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2030, with an extension option through 3 January 2032. The estimated value is £336,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The award is assessed on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. The stated award decision period ends on 30 November 2026.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to source and supply sports kits and leisurewear in accordance with the university’s specification and contract. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable to bid, so the requirement is not presented as restricted to larger suppliers. The commercial submission needs to cover all sums required to provide the supplies, making accurate costing across the specified range important. Quality carries greater weight than price, so suppliers should be prepared to address the quality questions alongside competitive pricing. The contract has a multi-year delivery horizon and an option to extend, which will suit businesses able to maintain supply and service over a sustained period. The re-advertisement may also be relevant to suppliers who considered the earlier sports kit and leisurewear competition.
