## Summary

The London Borough of Lewisham is procuring occupational clothing, special workwear and accessories, including uniform and personal protective equipment, for field staff in its Estate Environment team. The goods are for delivery in the London Borough of Lewisham area. The requirement is part of ESPO’s Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing Framework, covering a single requirement for uniform and PPE. It is a goods contract for a public-sector estate and environmental services workforce. The selected supplier is SMI INT GROUP LIMITED, an SME based in Petersfield. Businesses with established supply arrangements for workwear, protective clothing and associated accessories would be relevant to this requirement, particularly those able to support local-authority field teams.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 20 August 2026 through a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, under Lot 1 of the ESPO 144_23 Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing Framework. SMI INT GROUP LIMITED was awarded the contract at £98,000 excluding VAT (£117,600 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 1 August 2029, with an option to extend for 12 months until 1 August 2030. The award is active and relates to the single lot. Evaluation was conducted through the framework direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. A contract signature was scheduled for 20 August 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined, recurring requirement for uniform and personal protective equipment for council field staff, bought through an established framework and supplied by an SME. A credible competitor for similar work would need a dependable range of occupational clothing, special workwear and PPE, with the capacity to outfit an operational workforce consistently over a multi-year service period. Experience supplying public-sector or local-authority teams would strengthen its position, as would robust fulfilment, sizing and replacement arrangements, product compliance, and the ability to work within framework terms and direct-award processes. Suppliers should focus on the specific needs of estate and environmental field staff rather than general clothing supply.
