## Summary

Star Academies is conducting a procurement process for the provision of uniforms across all their schools. The process, initiated through a restricted procedure tender, aims to establish a contract with a single supplier. The selected supplier must supply uniforms to all schools in compliance with the specified requirements, including an online webstore provision and physical selling events. With a contract value of £2,750,000, the tender presents an opportunity for suppliers in the clothing, footwear, and accessories category to expand their business by providing uniform services to pupils and parents within the academy's network.

The tender by Star Academies offers business growth opportunities for uniform suppliers by requiring a comprehensive provision of clothing items to multiple schools. The procurement stage is currently active, with a contract period spanning from June 2025 to May 2030. Businesses operating in the clothing, textiles, and related items sector are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Suppliers need to demonstrate financial stability, relevant insurance cover, and other criteria outlined in the tender documents to qualify for consideration. The procurement method being used is a selective procedure, allowing Star Academies to evaluate and select suppliers based on quality and cost criteria specified in the award process.

## Notice

Star Academies is looking to run an FTS (EU) compliant tender with the intention of creating a contract with a single supplier. This will be a restricted process and a process timetable can be found in the documents. The supplier selected must be able to provide the complete provision of uniform supply and sales to pupils / parents across all Star schools. As a growing Trust, we anticipate that the scope of this tender will expand to include uniforms at all new schools that open or join the Trust before the contract start date and during the contract term. The selected supplier will be expected to supply uniforms for these schools within the contractual arrangements set out in this document. The Contract will be based on Star's Terms and Conditions. This will include the relevant minimum service level requirements (SLA/KPIs) for the successful tenderer.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust is seeking a single uniform supplier who can supply all uniform items in accordance with the specification outlined, across all of its schools throughout the academic year. A lead supplier working in a consortium is also acceptable. As a minimum, the successful supplier must be able to provide garments to all schools all year round via a school specific online webstore, and the provision of physical selling events at least once a year at each school. In addition, the provision of a physical local retail outlet in close proximity to some or all of our schools is also acceptable, although this is not a mandatory requirement.

Renewal: Retender will be required after the maximum five year term
