Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Cumberland Council wants to buy Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and workwear from a single supplier for the next 4 years. The contract is worth up to £3.5 million and will supply PPE to the council's workforce across 5 locations in Cumberland.

What the buyer wants

• Supply a comprehensive range of PPE and workwear that meets health and safety standards • Deliver reliably and efficiently to 5 different council depots across Cumberland • Provide high-quality, compliant goods that fit the purpose • Offer good value for money throughout the 4-year framework

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a single-supplier framework worth £3.5 million over 4 years with delivery to 5 locations: you will almost certainly lose to a large national PPE distributor unless you already have significant logistics infrastructure, stock holding, and proven delivery experience to multiple sites.
