## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Gateshead Borough Council, focused on the "Provision of Footwear for the Street Scene Service" and has reached the award stage. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically footwear, intended for operatives within the Street Scene team. The contract was awarded on 19th June 2025 and is set to remain active until 7th October 2027, with potential extensions up to 2029. Gateshead Borough Council opted for a direct procurement method, purchasing below the threshold without competition, due to the specific needs and historical effectiveness of the footwear provided by ARCO LIMITED. The contract is valued at £150,000, spread over several years, and will serve the region of UKC22, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in durable and functional footwear, although this particular opportunity was awarded directly to ARCO LIMITED due to the specificity of products required. Similar future tenders could attract businesses capable of offering specialised, customised footwear solutions that adhere to safety and comfort standards for public service operatives. Companies with expertise in producing branded, high-quality, and tailored footwear on a large scale might find substantial room for growth in serving public sector needs across different regions.

## Notice

Operatives within the Street Scene team are required, as part of their role, to walk on foot around the borough-often covering distances of up to 15 miles per day. To support this requirement, the Council provides operatives with appropriate footwear to enable them to carry out their duties effectively. Through years of trial and error, the Street Scene team has identified and provided footwear tailored to individual needs-taking into account variations in brand, size, shape, and functionality. The goods provided are only available from ARCO, some of them being own brand which are not available from any other supplier. Approximately PS25,000 per annum.
