This initiative aims to forge a long-term partnership with a sportswear supplier to provide university-branded sports apparel. Situated in Oxford, UK, this procurement caters to the needs of approximately 17,000 students and 2,800 staff members, spanning across 39 sports clubs and additional community members. The procurement process, currently undergoing supplier engagement, includes scheduled 1-2-1 online meetings with potential suppliers, with the engagement phase concluding on 28th November 2025. The contract, amounting to a gross value of £180,000, is expected to commence on 1st June 2026 and may extend until 31st May 2031. This tender represents a significant business opportunity for suppliers in the sports goods and equipment industry, particularly those specialising in sportswear and recreational services. Firms with expertise in creating durable, branded apparel that can bolster institutional visibility would find this contract advantageous. Companies focusing on innovation in sports fashion and those capable of catering to a broad university community would be well-positioned to exploit this opportunity for business growth. The procurement process includes market engagement, presenting businesses with the chance to build a strong collaborative relationship with a well-regarded university, thus enhancing their portfolio and market reputation. ## Notice Oxford Brookes University has a student population of approximately 17,000 students and over 2800 staff, with approximately 2000 students being members of our 39 sports clubs, and a wider Sport & Active Wellness membership consisting of 6000 student, staff and community members accessing a range of our facilities and services. With our existing Under Armour contract terminating on 31st December 2025, the Directorate of Sport & Active Wellness are now requiring a new contract to be established with a sportswear supplier for a long-term partnership that enables student sports clubs, sports staff and coaches and the general student and staff community to wear university-branded sports apparel to help support the University's profile and brand better in the wider HE environment.
