## Summary

The procurement process involves a contract awarded by UK Shared Business Services Limited for the supply of protective cold weather clothing to the RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook ships. This initiative falls under the occupational clothing and outerwear industry, with the procurement method being a limited competitive quotation. The tender period closed on 25th October 2019, while the contract commenced on 28th October 2019 and is set to conclude by 10th December 2019. The delivery address for the goods is located in Southampton, England, with a total contract value of £30,153 GBP.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing or supply of workwear and protective clothing, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Suppliers specialising in occupational clothing, especially those with capabilities to deliver tailored cold weather gear, would be well-positioned to participate in similar future tenders within the public sector, given the specialised nature of the requirement and the competitive procurement approach undertaken.

## Notice
