## Summary

The University of Sunderland procured healthcare and sports uniforms for students in Nursing, Health Sciences and the expanding sports provision. The requirement covers durable, high-quality garments for clinical placements, practical learning and sporting activity, supporting professional standards, infection control, student identity and engagement. Uniforms must be ethically sourced and suitable for clinical and practical environments, meeting relevant healthcare and British Standards requirements. This is a goods supply opportunity for a single supplier serving students within the university’s Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing. Delivery is to the university’s Sunderland location. The procurement is classified as occupational clothing, special workwear and accessories, covering suppliers of uniform garments and associated workwear rather than construction, consultancy or general facilities services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Work In Style Ltd was selected as the supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 2 August 2026 for £480,523.06 including the stated contract value in GBP. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a National Public Sector PPE Framework managed by Dukefield for Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, under its uniform and workwear lot. The tender’s stated evaluation basis was quality at 60% and cost at 40%. The tender record marks its single lot as cancelled, while the associated award is active and the signed contract is active. The lot included two optional 12-month extensions.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from the University of Sunderland for a managed, single-supplier uniform service supporting healthcare education and sports provision. A credible future competitor would need to supply durable student uniforms at institutional scale, with reliable garment availability throughout students’ studies and the operational capacity to support clinical placements and practical teaching. Ethical sourcing should be demonstrable, alongside compliance with relevant healthcare and British Standards requirements. Suppliers should understand the different functional needs of clinical, practical and sports garments, including the importance of professional presentation, infection-control considerations and consistent student identity. The award of a single contract through a public-sector PPE framework also indicates that experience of framework routes, public-sector ordering and dependable fulfilment would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer’s requirement is next tested.
