## Summary

Northern Trains Limited, a public authority under the central government, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), aimed to ensure safety across its rail operations. The procurement, under the legal framework set by the UK's UKPGA 2023/54, involves a single lot covering products like high-visibility clothing and safety accessories, with anticipated delivery across regions including UKC, UKD, and UKE. This effort is not presently a call for competition but serves to inform the market of an upcoming opportunity, with a future notice date set for 1st June 2026, and the contract period spanning from January 2027 to December 2032.

This tender offers promising growth opportunities for businesses specialising in occupational clothing and safety gear, particularly those capable of meeting strict rail industry standards for certified, high-quality PPE. Enterprises with robust supply chains and those able to provide responsive, adaptable support based on operational needs and demand variations will find this prospective procurement particularly suited to their expertise. Businesses are encouraged to monitor developments for participation opportunities in Northern Trains Limited's safety-enhancement initiatives.

## Notice

Northern is intending to initiate a future procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required to support safety-critical working across its rail operations. The scope of the procurement will include, but not be limited to, the provision of high-visibility clothing, safety footwear, protective gloves, eye and hearing protection, respiratory equipment, and other PPE items essential for ensuring the health, safety, and compliance of personnel working in operational rail environments. Given the integrated nature of the requirement and the need for consistency across the network, it is anticipated that the tender will be conducted as a single basket rather than being divided into separate lots. Suppliers will be expected to demonstrate the ability to deliver certified, high-quality PPE that meets relevant rail industry standards, ensure continuity of supply, and provide responsive support to accommodate varying demand and operational schedules. This notice does not constitute a call for competition but is intended to inform the market of a potential future opportunity. Interested suppliers are encouraged to monitor forthcoming publications for further details.
