The Tender

We seek school uniform supply partner who offers high quality in terms of goods and/or services that are 'fit for purpose' and can also offer excellent value for money over the entire contract period.

Secondary School:

The school will be building a shop within the Secondary School site. This will be an entirely new function. We are looking for a wholesale provider who will supply our uniform directly to us. The school will employ a member of staff who will take responsibility for running the shop, stock taking and placing orders.

Additionally, we require a link on the school website to a uniform area, which will give parents the ability to order on line at the same price as the shop,

We also plan to offer packages for new year 7 students.

Primary School

The Primary site has 630 students; their uniform is in transition at the moment (with the exception of the new reception year who are automatically going to the new uniform). The uniform will be a grey polo shirt, green jumper and black trousers or skirt. In the summer the girls can wear green gingham summer dresses and both can wear tailored shorts. The summer dresses parents will be able to buy from local supermarkets to keep the cost as low as possible to them, polo shirts, jumpers will be from the supplier.

Contract value:

Secondary Site estimated sales over 5 years = £463,500

Primary Site estimated sales over 5 years = £224,250

Total contract value = £687,750
