Waterproof Clothing

Lot 1 - Waterproof Clothing - Require waterproof clothing suitable for a full week of outdoor fieldwork in all weathers, and in a variety of locations that can include remote upland locations where staff can be exposed to the full range of winter and summer conditions.

Corporate Clothing

Approximately 450 permanent staff that have an annual allocation of uniform issued in March/April each year. There are five different uniform types for visitor facing staff - Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle, formal dress for Landward sites and casual dress for Landward sites and the Ranger Service. Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle and Landward sites have their own respective tartans. Kilt uniforms are not required as part of this contract, however tartan waistcoats and trousers are required. There are approximately 150 seasonal staff that may change from year to year, this means we also have a lot of uniforms which are only worn for a short time and still have life in them at the end of the season and thus will need refurbishing after the season to be re-issued out to new staff.

Renewal: Initial period of 24 months with an option to extend for a further 48
