The purpose of this procurement exercise is to achieve best value for money for the supply of sports kit (team and specialist individual sportwear) and apparel (training and leisurewear) to Saints Sport and students of the University of St Andrews. Saints Sport manages all sport and fitness related activities, services and facilities at the University of St Andrews and is a partnership between the Department of Sport and the Athletic Union - a student run organisation to represent the interests of all matriculated students in matters relating to sport and physical activity. Over half (~70%) of the student body are involved with Saints Sport in some way, making St Andrews one of the leading institutions in the UK for participation in sport and physical activity. There are over 50 sports clubs at St Andrews, offering activities for all levels of ability or aspiration, whether that is competitive or recreational. Over 100 teams compete annually in British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), Scottish Student Sport (SSS), local and national leagues and cup competitions, with many more students competing on an individual level. The Performance Sport programme aims to attract and support the very best athletes at St Andrews who aspire to gain a world-class education while competing at an elite sporting level. The Saints Sport brand is now widely recognised as the formal marque for Sport at the University of St Andrews within the student body and externally in the sector, helping to develop and strengthen a feeling of “espirit de corps” that adds value to the unique St Andrews experience and differentiates this University from all others.
