What is being bought
The requirement is for general Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Corporate Workwear for Defra and it’s 33 agencies/Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPB’s). Many of Defra’s and it’s Arm’s Length Bodies (ALB’s) staff work in the field and there are a wide variety of different terrains which need to be catered for.<br/><br/>This contract is to provide the means to order from an approved list of clothing and PPE. This will include basics such as branded polo tops and fleeces as well as more complex gear such as breathing apparatus and chainsaw trousers. The suppliers need to be able to cope in emergency situations e.g. disease outbreaks or floods to deliver large quantities quickly. <br/><br/>There is also an element of equipment and single use PPE such as mops, brushes and disposable gloves and masks.<br/>We are keen to promote high sustainability standards in the market and have divided the requirement into Lots to encourage Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) to apply.

    Due to seasonal work, summer clothing options should be lightweight, water resistant, with sweat wicking options, and have an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). Cotton options for those with allergies to polyester should also be available. Winter options need to be able to withstand all weather conditions, be waterproof and be compatible with other items for layering as staff are exposed to all weather conditions for long periods of the day.<br/>This Lot also includes corporate workwear which may be branded with our corporate logos.<br/><br/>Defra organisations have a high percentage of female employees. It is essential that all PPE and clothing is provided for women at the same level as men. Women need to feel secure, protected and at ease whilst performing their duties, but also visible to those operating around them. In addition to suitable fitting PPE and clothing comfort is a key aspect. Special bespoke order alternatives may be required from time to time on religious or ethnic grounds, pregnancy, allergy sufferers and for those who do not meet the normal sizing ranges.
