Thames Water is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement with a single supplier for the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), everyday workwear, and health & safety consumables. This includes items such as trousers, jackets, shirts, t-shirts, polo shirts, overalls, and various protective gear for head, foot, eye, ear, and hand protection. The aim is to consolidate these categories to enhance commercial value, improve operational efficiencies, and standardise products.
The procurement process will involve a two-stage approach, with the second stage being an E-Auction to drive additional value. The successful supplier will be expected to ensure on-time and in-full (OTIF) deliveries, provide inventory management solutions, and integrate ordering innovations such as webshops and SAP integrations.

Thames Water Utilities Limited will incorporate a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.
The Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (SI 2016 No 274) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
