## Summary

South Ribble Borough Council and Chorley Council are jointly seeking a supplier of personal protective equipment and associated workwear. The requirement covers safety footwear, protective headgear, occupational clothing, special workwear, accessories, and other protective and safety clothing. The equipment is intended to meet operational needs across both councils and to be available when required. Delivery will be to council operations in South Ribble and Chorley, Lancashire. This is a goods requirement for businesses supplying PPE, workwear and safety equipment, including distributors and manufacturers able to provide a range of compliant products. The councils are the intended users of the supplies, with South Ribble Borough Council acting as the named buyer for the procurement.

The procurement has reached tender: the councils invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The buyer set 9 September 2026 at 12:00 for enquiries and 16 September 2026 at 12:00 for bid submissions. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Chest procurement portal, project reference DN825773. The initial contract period is 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with one possible one-year extension to 1 November 2029. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable. The award criteria are set out in the Invitation to Tender available through the portal.

This opportunity suits UK-based PPE, safety footwear, protective headgear and workwear manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist suppliers. Businesses should be able to supply varied protective equipment and clothing to meet operational requirements across two borough councils, rather than a single-product order. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may fit an established regional supplier as well as a larger national provider. Suppliers with reliable stock access, product-range breadth, order fulfilment and delivery arrangements will be well placed to respond to recurring council requirements. The contract also offers scope for a supplier able to support purchases when required over the initial term and any extension, subject to the detailed specification and award criteria in the tender documents.
