Published requirement description

York College is looking to outsource its staff / student uniform and PPE requirements to a single supplier. The College requires the successful supplier to be able to receive and process uniform orders from college staff, students and parents starting from July 2026.

Suppliers must be able to offer the full range as detailed in the pricing schedule/uniform list.

What this means for your bid

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