Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured the supply and delivery of school uniforms and related accessories for educational establishments. The requirement covers goods for schools in Glasgow and the surrounding area, with the council acting as the buyer. The relevant product category is clothing, footwear and accessories (CPV 18000000). Delivery and supply are intended to support education establishments rather than general council operations. This is a single requirement delivered within the Glasgow area, and the procurement used a framework arrangement for the selected suppliers. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to uniform manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and businesses able to manage recurring schoolwear orders and deliveries across Glasgow.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. One lot was evaluated on contract delivery quality at 30% and price at 55%; bidders also had to meet the stated quality threshold. The tender deadline and bid opening were 7 May 2026 at 12:00, and bids had to remain valid for 120 days. The award was made to Aspire Industrial Services, Border Embroideries Ltd trading as BE Uniforms, and Miyo Brand. The framework allows up to three participants. The contract value is £460,000, it was signed on 28 July 2026, and the contract period is 1,440 days. The requirement is identified as recurring in January or February 2030.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Glasgow City Council for school uniforms and accessories supplied across Glasgow and nearby areas. A credible future supplier would need reliable access to uniform and accessory ranges, the capacity to fulfil orders for multiple educational establishments, and dependable delivery and distribution arrangements. Relevant experience is important: bidders were expected to provide two comparable supply examples from the previous three years, covering scope, size, complexity, duration, contract value and added value. Suppliers also needed sound trading performance, positive net worth and no insolvency process. Strong public and products liability arrangements, robust contract-delivery performance and the ability to work within an electronic ordering and payment environment would support competitiveness.
