About the requirement

From the notice

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. 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. There is also an element of equipment and single use PPE such as mops, brushes and disposable gloves and masks. 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.
