The project, titled "CSET - School pupil uniform - secondary phase," aims to provide branded uniforms across various schools, ensuring parents receive the best value in terms of price, quality, and service. This open procedure process was initiated on 20th August 2025, with a contract award set for completion by 26th September 2025. The procurement concerns the industry category of clothing, specifically targeting the provision of pupil uniforms across multiple regions in the UK, with procurement stages including planning, tendering, and now, awarding as of 19th October 2025.
