## Summary

The University of Worcester is planning to procure a comprehensive sports clothing and leisurewear supply solution. The requirement covers clothing for students, staff, university sports teams, and Students’ Union clubs and societies. This is a goods contract focused on sportswear and related clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories. Delivery will be across the University of Worcester in Worcester. Suppliers serving education, university sport, student organisations or institutional clothing programmes may find the scope relevant, particularly those able to provide a broad range of sports clothing and leisurewear for different user groups within one university-wide service. The planned procurement is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots, covering the full sports clothing and leisurewear solution.

The procurement is at the planning stage and the University of Worcester has set out an intention to buy; it is not an invitation to tender. The buyer is carrying out a preliminary market engagement exercise, with the engagement milestone scheduled for 5 October 2026. The next notice is expected on 15 October 2026. The planned contract period is 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2029, with a renewal option allowing the arrangement to extend to 31 May 2031. One lot is planned, and the requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement method and evaluation approach have not been settled in the published planning information, so suppliers should treat the dates and future process as indicative while preparing for the later market opportunity.

This procurement is likely to suit suppliers with an established sportswear or leisurewear range and the capacity to serve several university user groups through a comprehensive solution. Relevant businesses may include sports clothing manufacturers, wholesalers, specialist retailers and suppliers already supporting universities, sports teams, clubs or membership organisations. The scope favours providers able to handle varied requirements for students, staff, teams and societies rather than a narrow single-product offer. Smaller businesses should take note that the planned requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs. At this stage, suppliers can prepare evidence of their sportswear and leisurewear range, supply capacity, experience serving multiple customer groups, and ability to support a university-wide service when the procurement reaches the market.
