This Framework is set to address the supply and delivery of workwear, uniforms, and personal protection equipment, including safety footwear, to various NEPO Authorities and Associate Members across the North East of England. The engagement end date for market feedback is 12th July 2019, and businesses are invited to participate by completing a soft market testing questionnaire via ProContract to inform the procurement process. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth prospects for small and medium-sized enterprises within the clothing and protective equipment sectors. Companies that manufacture or supply corporate clothing, protective footwear, and safety clothing would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. As the Framework will be applicable for up to four years, it offers stability and the potential for ongoing business relationships with local authorities in the North East region. ## Notice South Tyneside Council on behalf of The North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is looking to conduct a procurement exercise which will result in the renewal of an existing Framework for the Provision of Workwear and PPE. The Framework will be available for use by all NEPO Authorities and Associate Members.
