## Summary

HealthTrust Europe LLP (HTE), acting as agent for the University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW), is establishing a Framework Agreement for the provision of Workplace Uniforms, comprising two lots: Clinical and Non-Clinical Uniforms. This procurement process falls under the selective procurement method and is currently at the award stage. The contract will last for a maximum of four years, starting from 18 January 2021 to 17 January 2024, with the possibility of a one-year extension. Potential suppliers must be able to deliver uniforms across a wide size range (6 to 28 for women and XS to 4XL for men) and offer various colour options and fabric weights. The tender period concluded on 11 November 2020.

This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses involved in the supply of medical clothing and uniforms and could significantly contribute to their growth, especially within the healthcare sector. Companies that possess the capability to provide high-quality, varied uniforms tailored for both clinical and non-clinical settings, and can accommodate the specific sizing and colour requirements of the NHS and related bodies, will find this an advantageous competitive space. With a substantial budget of £50 million, this framework agreement is expected to attract a diverse range of suppliers, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
