Summary of the contracting process

Canterbury Christ Church University extended its contract for the supply and distribution of student healthcare uniforms. This is a goods requirement covering specialist clothing for students undertaking healthcare courses. Delivery is for the university’s locations in Canterbury and elsewhere in Kent. The procurement concerns the ongoing provision and distribution of uniforms rather than healthcare services themselves. MI Hub Limited is the selected supplier for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The university awarded the contract to MI Hub Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 18 April 2026 and runs from 18 April 2026 to 17 April 2027. Its value is £98,557,000 excluding VAT and £118,268,400 including VAT. The process comprised one lot, and the recorded award covers special clothing. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Canterbury Christ Church University, this award indicates demand for the supply and distribution of student healthcare uniforms across the university’s Canterbury and Kent locations. A credible competitor would need to source suitable specialist clothing and manage reliable distribution to multiple delivery locations. The award went to an established large supplier, suggesting the requirement was fulfilled through a supplier with capacity to provide both supply and distribution. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so experience of the university’s requirements and a strong existing relationship may be commercially relevant when comparable needs arise. The work is focused on student healthcare uniforms, rather than wider healthcare services.
