Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Housing Partnership Limited bought personal protective equipment and staff uniform, covering workwear accessories, outerwear, T-shirts and shirts. The requirement also includes health and safety services associated with the supply. The procurement is for goods with a service element, intended to equip the housing partnership’s workforce. Delivery covers multiple regions across England, from the North East and North West through the Midlands and East of England to London, the South East and South West. The scope is presented as one combined requirement rather than separate product lots, so suppliers would need to address the range of clothing and protective equipment within a single supply arrangement. The buyer is a housing provider based in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Arco Limited. The buyer used a below-threshold procedure; the method is described as unknown. The requirement was procured as one lot. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £120,000 excluding VAT and £144,000 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not describe the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the outcome and contract details provide the recorded basis for understanding how this purchase was concluded.

For suppliers of personal protective equipment and workwear, this award demonstrates Lincolnshire Housing Partnership’s demand for a combined range of protective clothing, outerwear, shirts, T-shirts and workwear accessories, alongside related health and safety services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply across this breadth and support delivery across numerous English regions through one arrangement. The award went to a large supplier, indicating that the buyer selected a provider able to serve a geographically broad requirement; this does not establish a formal minimum size or capacity threshold. Clothing and PPE distributors with the product range and logistics to support a multi-region housing organisation are the closest fit. The next opportunity would be this buyer’s requirement for staff PPE and uniform, rather than unrelated clothing or safety work.
