See open PPE tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

PPE procurement covers protective clothing, safety footwear, high-visibility wear and site-safety equipment bought by councils, NHS trusts, police and fire services. Much of the volume runs through national frameworks rather than single-buyer tenders, so one agreement often supplies dozens of authorities.

There are 4,137 PPE-related notices on Stotles to date, 2,412 awarded and 29 open now. Fire services add specialist lines, firefighting suits and breathing apparatus, inside the same PPE budgets as uniform and workwear.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about ppe, protective clothing in the UK public sector.

  • What counts as a PPE tender in UK procurement?

    PPE tenders cover protective clothing, safety footwear, high-visibility wear, respiratory protection, gloves and site-safety equipment bought by public bodies. Uniform and workwear contracts are usually bundled in with them, since the same supplier often delivers both under one framework call-off.

  • How do I find open PPE contracts?

    Search public and private portals for live PPE tenders, or move earlier. On Stotles, you can read buyers' strategy documents and budget files related to PPE and workwear, catch the buying signals before a tender opens, and build your bid from there. For more, explore the platform.

  • Are PPE contracts usually bought through frameworks?

    Yes, a large share of PPE spend runs through multi-supplier frameworks rather than one-off tenders. Examples on Stotles include the ESPO 144_23 Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing framework and CPC's PPE, Clothing, Uniforms and First Aid Supplies agreement, both of which cover multiple buyers off a single award.

  • What CPV codes are associated with PPE?

    PPE maps to CPV codes 35113400 (Protective and safety clothing), 18100000 (Occupational clothing, special workwear and accessories), 18830000 (Protective footwear) and 18143000 (Protective gear).

  • Do fire and rescue services buy PPE separately from other public bodies?

    Often yes. Fire and rescue authorities tend to run their own tenders for structural firefighting suits, breathing apparatus and decontamination laundering, on top of the general uniform and PPE contracts that councils and NHS trusts use.
