## Summary

The Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) is seeking a sole Supplier for the contract titled "Supply of Workwear and Personal Protective Equipment," specifically required for non-fire fighting duties across its eleven Airports located in the Highlands, Islands, and Tayside regions of the UK. The procurement process was initiated through an open tender method, and the bidding period ended on 29 October 2020. The procurement process is currently complete, having awarded the contract on 4 February 2021 to HUNTER APPAREL SOLUTIONS, with an estimated contract value of £723,000. The contract aims to secure products compliant with national and international ethical and environmental standards.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the workwear and personal protective equipment sectors. Companies capable of supplying high-quality goods that meet rigorous operational demands and ethical sourcing standards will be well-suited to compete. The contract also emphasises the need for suppliers who can adapt to a variety of environments within the aviation industry, providing essential apparel for roles ranging from customer-facing positions to those in engineering and extreme weather conditions.

## Notice

HIAL wished to appoint a sole Supplier to a contract for the Supply of Workwear and Personal Protective Equipment (non-fire fighting) to our 11 Airports based throughout the Highlands, Islands and Tayside.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The requirement was to have a sole Supplier for workwear and PPE, who would be able to support the current and future operational requirements of HIAL, and will make use of dedicated Supplier knowledge and technologies, proactively managing the service. They will provide a high standard of workwear and PPE across diverse environments for a variety of job roles, including office and customer facing roles, engineering workshops, fire stations (general workwear), and environments that are exposed to extreme weather conditions. As a principle objective of this contract, HIAL have assurance from the Supplier that all Goods supplied throughout their supply chain comply with national and international standards (e.g. membership of approved bodies such as SEDEX or The Ethical Trading Initiative and compliance with International Labour Organisation core conventions) in respect of ethical working conditions and environmentally sustainable product sources, from raw materials through to manufacture and delivery of the finished garment. It is anticipated that this new service will give HIAL opportunities such as enhanced delivery timescales, which are vital for our airports due to the critical nature of our operations. HIAL are aiming to achieve savings where possible without compromising on quality, an example of this would be the ability for HIAL to place monthly orders from across the Group, which would reduce carriage costs and associated carbon footprint.

Renewal: The Contract is anticipated to run for an initial period of five years, with provision to extend annually by a further two years if mutually agreed and depending on performance.
