## Summary

The Royal Berkshire Fire Authority is currently engaged in the procurement process for a service titled "Undress Uniform and Managed Wardrobe Service". This contract aims to provide undress uniforms and measuring services for new recruits at their Theale Headquarters. The procurement is classified under the clothing and accessory industry and is currently at the Award stage, with the contract anticipated to commence on 1st April 2022 and run until 31st March 2026. The initial procurement method employed was a restricted procedure, with a final tender submission deadline that closed on 16th December 2021.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the clothing and uniform services sector, particularly those that specialise in bespoke wardrobe management and related logistics. Companies that are agile, capable of handling tailored clothing services, and familiar with public sector contracts would be particularly well-suited to compete in this tender process. The financial commitment for the awarded contract is valued at £50,000, signalling a worthwhile opportunity for suppliers who can deliver effective solutions for the Royal Berkshire Fire Authority's uniform requirements.

## Notice

The Authority is seeking quotes for the Provision of Undress Uniform and a fully managed wardrobe and measuring services at the supplier's premises. This will be a call off contract and no commitment to purchasing items. Any new recruits will need to be measured at Theale Head Quarters on their first day to allow 12 weeks to have graduation uniform ready. Whilst the officers need an arrangement where they can have access to an undress uniform, most officers are unlikely to need to use the outfit very often. This means that the outfit could be more effectively provided if this could be provided through a managed service and be made available for use by other RBFRS officers.
