04Uniform and PPE contracts: common questions
How many uniform and PPE tenders are live in the UK?
14 right now, from 14 public buyers, with 10 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in uniform and PPE contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win uniform and PPE contracts?
Often, yes. 11 of the 14 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 3 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Goods & equipment
Goods are often bought through frameworks run by central purchasing bodies, with call-offs for specific needs. Price, delivery terms and product specifications usually decide it; check whether the buyer expects you on a framework first.
