PPE, Workwear & Sportswear Framework is now live!

We are pleased to announce that the brand new PPE, Workwear & Sportswear (JAN1013 AP) framework from APUC is now live.

The Framework Agreement provides a route to market for the supply of PPE, Workwear & Sportswear. It is split in to 15 lots, based on product requirements and geographical spread.

The agreement will run from the 7th of August 2025 to the 6th August 2027 with extension options of up to 24 months. The framework is open to APUC, HEPCW, LUPC, NEUPC, NWUPC & SUPC.

This framework allows you to buy through:

You should choose the option most appropriate to your purchase taking into consideration; your Organisational Procurement Guidance and Financial Regulations, the product/service you wish to purchase and the specific requirements of your organisation.
**Mini-competition is recommended as the best option to obtain the most competitive offering for your specific requirements. Whilst a basket of goods was evaluated at framework level, many of the products in scope of this agreement are customisable and complex, so a mini-competition (or RFQ via the desktop calculator) would be advised.**
