  • How do I find clothing tenders in the UK public sector?

On Stotles, you can see what's open now, filter by buyer type, and build a bid list from the contracts already awarded in this category.

  • What frameworks cover clothing and workwear procurement?

    Regional frameworks carry a lot of this volume. ESPO's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Clothing framework (144_23, renewing as 144_27) recurs often in the corpus, and YPO's Uniform & Workwear framework (1204), covering station, corporate and workshop wear, is behind several fire and rescue call-offs. Both sit alongside one-off council and NHS tenders.

Protective footwear and workwear accessories also appear regularly alongside these three.

  • How much of this clothing tender activity is already awarded?

    Of the 2,232 clothing and uniform notices on record, 1,132 have already been awarded and 175 sit at pre-tender stage, meaning the buyer has signalled a requirement but not yet published a formal tender. The rest are open or closed tenders working through evaluation.

    Frameworks are a major route in across UK public procurement generally: 44% of suppliers surveyed by Stotles named frameworks as their main route to market. Clothing and PPE fit that pattern, with ESPO and YPO both running multi-lot frameworks that councils and NHS bodies call off from directly.
