Summary: North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) is preparing a framework for promotional merchandise and clothing for its member institutions, with some products also sold directly to students. The proposed merchandise range includes technology products, desk accessories, bags, safety and leisure products, drinkware, ceramics, stationery, gifts and branded clothing. The separate proposed clothing lot covers items such as hats, sweatshirts, polo shirts, jackets, trousers, ties, aprons and shirts. Both lists are non-exhaustive, and the proposed lot structure may change before the tender is published. Merchandise sales to students are expected to include a webshop route, but suppliers would not have to provide a webshop. Delivery is across the United Kingdom.
