Summary of the contracting process

Heriot-Watt University bought clothing for staff and sports teams at its Edinburgh campus, including its Sports Union and Oriam, Scotland’s Sports Performance Centre. The requirement was divided into three distinct ranges: leisure-active clothing for Oriam staff; playing kit, training kit, volunteer kit and leisurewear for the Sports Union; and ceremonial clothing and merchandise for the Sports Union. This is a supply opportunity for businesses able to provide clothing across staff, sports and ceremonial uses. Delivery was to Edinburgh. The buyer was Heriot-Watt University, serving both its university sports union and Oriam. The three ranges cover different users and clothing types, so suppliers with a relevant clothing catalogue and the ability to fulfil a varied institutional requirement would find the subject matter most pertinent.

The procurement is complete and all three lots were awarded to FN Teamwear; the contracts are active. The open procedure used electronic submissions, and the University selected a supplier for each lot. The Oriam staff clothing contract was awarded for £15,000; the Sports Union playing, training, volunteer and leisurewear contract for £62,000; and the Sports Union ceremonial clothing and merchandise contract for £10,000. Each contract was signed on 30 January 2025 and runs from 7 February 2025 to 6 February 2027. Each may be extended by a further two years and, after that four-year period, by a further year, subject to satisfactory performance and continuing need. The tender deadline was 16 December 2024. Six bids were received for each lot, all from SMEs. Alternative bids were not permitted.

This award shows recurring demand at Heriot-Watt University for several clothing ranges serving both sports teams and staff at Oriam. A future competitor would need to supply suitable leisure-active staff clothing as well as sports playing and training kit, volunteer clothing, leisurewear, ceremonial clothing and merchandise. The three separate awards show that the requirement can be competed by range, while the same supplier won all three. The successful supplier was an SME, and all six bids recorded for each lot came from SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers competed in this market. Credibility would rest on being able to meet the distinct clothing needs of a university sports union and a sports performance centre, and to supply a varied institutional range. The University also reserved extensions subject to satisfactory performance and continuing requirements, making dependable ongoing fulfilment relevant.
