This tender for sportswear presents an opportunity for suppliers who can offer a wide range of flexible garments suitable for both male and female athletes and unisex options for visual coherence. Businesses that specialise in providing customised sportswear, with a focus on sustainability practices and quick lead times, would be well-suited to compete for this contract from Lancaster University and its Students' Union. The contract value is £50000 GBP, and the tender was conducted using an open procedure.

## Notice

Lancaster University and Lancaster University Students' Union is inviting expressions of interest (EOI) from suppliers interested in tendering. The winning bidder will be required to provide both performance kit and leisurewear (male and female) to a variety of clubs for approximately 40 sports. This will support the Student Unions' goal of standardising a Lancaster University image across all teams. Lancaster University requires any supplier awarded the contract to start mobilisation in April 2024 for a delivery date the end of July 2024. The Student Union would require any candidates to be able to provide an overview of their sustainability policy and procedures. With the university sporting season spanning such a short window from October to March, lead times are significant for both team wear and leisure wear/personal items, and should therefore be made readily available within 3-4 weeks from the date of order. The successful supplier would need to be able to provide flexible garments with not just 'male' and 'female', but also unisex options, so that visually there is coherence. The successful supplier will also be required to provide individual Lancaster University Students' Union branded products online where students can view products and place orders direct for themselves.
