Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland is planning a procurement process for staff uniforms and personal protective equipment, specifically a broad range of garments including tartan garments. This planned procurement, identified by the Request for Information - Staff Uniforms and Personal Protective Equipment tender (ID: HES/C/4117), is in the Built Environment, Heritage and Tourism industry category and is set to take place in Edinburgh, UK. Interested suppliers must engage by submitting their responses to this notice, as it will influence how the tender is structured. The deadline for suppliers to indicate their interest is by 24th January 2022, with the award period commencing on 17th March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in fashion and protective apparel, especially those specialising in producing bespoke uniforms, personal protective equipment, and tartan fabrics. Suppliers that can cater to a diverse range of sizing and allergy-friendly materials will be particularly well-suited to compete. Given that Historic Environment Scotland has approximately 1,000 staff members whose uniform needs fluctuate with the seasons, businesses capable of quick turnaround and delivery to multiple locations will also find themselves at an advantage.
