Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council is currently engaged in a public procurement process titled "Front-of-House Uniforms - RFI - no award," aimed at introducing branded uniforms for staff to align with the council's corporate identity. This process is at the planning stage, having last updated on 30th November 2016, and it is classified under the goods procurement category with a specific focus on uniforms. The buyers are seeking to understand the market feasibility, and this request serves as a soft market test rather than a formal invitation to tender.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in uniform supply and branding services to engage with a local government authority. Companies with experience in providing high-quality, custom uniforms and a strong understanding of branding in a public sector context would be well-positioned to compete. Participating in this preliminary research phase may also provide insights that could inform future tender opportunities within Aberdeen City Council and similar public entities.

Notice Title

Front-of-House Uniforms - RFI - no award

Notice Description

Aberdeen City Council were looking to introduce branded uniforms for staff in line with the council's corporate identity. In order to assess the feasibility of this project, we conducted a soft market test and asked suppliers to support us in the market research. This request in no way constituted an invitation to tender and did not guarantee that the project will go ahead. Responding to this request did not guarantee or prevent success at any potential future tender should one take place.
