PPE, Clothing and Uniforms

This framework agreement covers the supply of PPE, Clothing, Uniforms and First Aid equipment. This framework was set up to allow members to purchase available items in a efficient and value added method. The framework is split into 3 lots as follows:

Lot 1 – Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

This Lot is for the provision of Personal Protective Equipment including but not limited to supply of Safety Footwear, Hazard Protection Clothing, Safety Gloves, Personal Protective Equipment and any associated products and services, such as on site fitting and measuring.

Lot 2 – Clothing and Uniforms

This Lot is for the provision of Clothing including but not limited to supply of PE Kits, Sports Kits, Food Industry, Medical, Laboratory Clothing, Corporate Wear, School, Security Uniforms, Hair and Beauty Uniforms and personalisation services such as embroidery and logo printing, to be purchased in varying quantities during the framework period.

Lot 3 – First Aid Supplies

This Lot is for the provision of First Aid Kits, equipment and accessories including but not limited to supply of First Aid Kits, First Aid Supplies, Defibrillators, CPR Training Manikins and any associated.

Important Note - Please note that UKR General Trading Limited, a named supplier on our PPE, Clothing and Uniforms Framework, has been temporarily removed from the framework while we are awaiting a response for a financial health check due to a drop in their credit score below 30. We are closely monitoring the situation, and our top priority remains to minimise disruption to member operations and uphold service continuity.

If you are currently placing orders or anticipating deliveries through UKR General Trading Limited, or have any concerns, please contact our Helpdesk at helpdesk@thecpc.ac.uk or by phoning 0800 066 2188. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Important Procurement Act 2023 requirement

It is very important for CPC members to register on the new Find a Tender Service to create your organisation’s unique procurement identifier, known as an API Key. You then need to add the API Key to your profile on our MultiQuote eSender portal to run compliant mini competitions for our frameworks. It is a requirement under Procurement Act 2023 that relevant notices are published to the Find a Tender Service and MultiQuote can only publish your notices if you have added your API Key. See our Find a tender service registration web page for a step-by-step guide on how to register.

The CPC Quote Tool makes it easy to perform and manage a further competition exercise on this Framework. It's free to use for all our members and offers quick, compliant access to all suppliers on purchases that fall below £207,720.00
