## Summary

Nottingham Community Housing Association Limited is buying a managed supply of workwear, personal protective equipment, cleaning products and hygiene supplies. The goods will support operational teams working in housing, maintenance, estates and corporate services. The requirement is intended to provide consistent, standardised products, support compliance with health and safety legislation and improve sustainability outcomes. It covers clothing, footwear, accessories and protective safety clothing, including products suitable for routine operational use. Delivery is required across the East Midlands, supporting the Association’s operations in and around Nottingham. This is a goods contract for a supplier able to provide a broad range of workwear, PPE and hygiene products rather than a single specialist item.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure, beginning with a conditions of participation and shortlisting stage. Expressions of interest were due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £500,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 November 2026 to 15 September 2028, with renewal options extending the maximum period to 15 September 2031 under a 2+2+1-year arrangement. Evaluation is weighted 40% price, 30% quality, and 30% product evaluation and portal demonstration. Up to five suppliers may reach the second stage, with at least three candidates required.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established distribution and stock-management capability across workwear, PPE, cleaning and hygiene ranges. Applicants must demonstrate the required legal, financial and technical capacity and meet the minimum thresholds in the participation questionnaire. The initial quality response requires a score of at least 60% to progress. Shortlisted suppliers must provide samples from a specified product basket and take part in a structured assessment comprising a 20-minute presentation, 25-minute product demonstration and 15-minute question-and-answer session. The final stage requires pricing for the Authority’s core PPE, workwear and hygiene basket. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants, provided they can meet the breadth, compliance and service requirements.
