Summary of the contracting process

Edinburgh College bought sportswear and sports and fitness uniforms for its students. This is a goods supply requirement covering the provision of clothing and related apparel, including sportswear, teamwear and other garments. The work is for Edinburgh College’s sports and fitness activity, with delivery associated with the college’s locations in Edinburgh and Midlothian. The buyer is Edinburgh College, an education body based in Edinburgh. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist teamwear suppliers able to provide student sports clothing, manage branded or specified garments, and fulfil orders across more than one college location. The main classification is CPV 18412000, sportswear.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. FN Teamwear was selected for the single lot, and the resulting contract is active; it was signed on 23 June 2026. The tender closed at 12:00 on 1 May 2026, with bids opened at that time. The contract period is 720 days, with two further 12-month renewal options. The requirement is recurrent, with a possible next procurement in March 2028 if extensions are not used, or March 2030 if all extensions are used. Eight bids were received, including seven from SMEs. All bids were submitted electronically and in English. Variants were not allowed, and bids had to remain valid for 90 days. Electronic ordering is used and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This award confirms a recurring requirement for student sportswear from Edinburgh College, with demand capable of supporting a specialist teamwear or sports-clothing supplier over a multi-year arrangement and possible extensions. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to sports garments and related apparel, the capacity to supply more than one college location, and the operational control to process electronic orders and invoices. The requirement also points to the importance of accurate pricing, consistent fulfilment and the ability to work to supplied branding information. Supplier assurance and responsible-business processes are relevant, including sustainable supply-chain practices, data-processing assurance and declarations concerning serious organised crime and human trafficking. Competition included several SMEs, indicating that this scale was accessible to smaller specialist suppliers.
