What is being bought

Published requirement description

The UEA requires a supplier to provide the following:

  • Sportspark staff uniform including catering staff in the building and across the wider campus
  • Progressive Sports Service Kit (a small sports outreach team in a different style to the operations kit)
  • University Sports Club Kit
  • Leisurewear for sports clubs
  • We supply of sports kit to two scholarship schemes. The UEA provides a few items of kit for a maximum of 100 athletes per annum. Styles would be agreed with the successful supplier
  • Nursery staff, Catering and Accommodation staff uniform
  • School of Education and Lifelong Learning (EDU) - The School of Education and Lifelong Learning require the production of the PE kit purchased by students on the BA in Physical Education and PGCE Physical Education. The School of Education and Lifelong Learning (EDU) is one of the UK's premier centres for teaching and research in professional education and training. A mandatory requirement to wear the UEA branded clothing, as stated in the attached specification is placed on the students on these two courses when teaching and / or on placement in schools. All students must purchase a core kit with the option to purchase additional items if desired
  • Leisurewear and staff uniform for shop on site
  • Any other uniform and leisurewear as may be required by the University.

The aim of this framework is to continue to standardise the appearance of students representing the University in sporting events as well as aiming for a style running throughout the different kit requirements albeit with different colours. The University would also like to ensure ethical practices are used in the production of the garments worn by staff and students.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “UEA Apparel Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
