## Summary

Health Sciences University bought personal protective equipment and related clothing through Lot 3 of the ESPO Framework 144_23. The requirement covers special and occupational clothing, including workwear, schoolwear and body armour, as well as medical clothing. The procurement is for goods to support the university’s activities. The buyer is Health Sciences University, based at Parkwood Campus in Bournemouth. Delivery coverage was stated across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. This is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors supplying protective, occupational, educational or medical clothing to public-sector organisations and higher-education customers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open procedure, using a further competition under the ESPO framework. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026. The estimated procurement value was £75,000 including the full requirement. DEN-CO-WEAR LTD was awarded the contract on 11 September 2026 for £50,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The award covers the clothing and protective-equipment requirement as a single reported award. The published information identifies Health Sciences University as the buyer and the successful supplier. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main procurement category was goods.

This award demonstrates established demand from Health Sciences University for a broad protective-clothing supply covering PPE, workwear, schoolwear, body armour and medical clothing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to a wide product range, the ability to meet occupational and healthcare clothing specifications, and capacity to serve delivery locations in the UK and wider territories. Experience supplying universities, healthcare organisations or other public-sector buyers would support credibility, particularly where orders combine different clothing types. Suppliers should also be able to compete through framework-based further competitions and manage consistent fulfilment, product availability, sizing, quality and delivery across a multi-year contract. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so specialist distributors as well as larger suppliers may be relevant.
