## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by Cumberland Council involves the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) under the category of goods, aimed at various departments throughout the council. This planned procurement process is communicated as a pipeline notice on the Find a Tender service, with further details to be published by 1st May 2026. The procurement is based on the UK legislation 2023/54, with plans to establish a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £3,000,000 net (£3,600,000 gross), is set to begin on October 1st, 2026, and will continue until September 30th, 2030. The council is located in Carlisle, within the UKD1 region, and active in planning the procurement process.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in the supply of clothing, footwear, luggage articles, and accessories. Businesses that focus on manufacturing or supplying PPE, particularly those suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), would find this tender opportunity advantageous. The extended contract period, along with the gross value of £3,600,000, presents an attractive prospect for well-positioned businesses to establish or expand their presence in the public sector. Suppliers who have experience or capacity to manage framework agreements and who can meet delivery requirements within the UKD1 region will be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
