    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside wishes to award framework status to a single supplier for the production and supply of traditional uniform shirts. The shirts on this framework will be chiefly white in colour with a small requirement for blue and navy. The shirts are to be worn by Police Officers and Police Staff. For some forces traditional shirts are the garment of choice whilst for other forces they are secondary to other garments. Demand amongst participating forces therefore will vary.

    To be considered for framework status contractors are expected to demonstrate commercial advantage, stability, technical capacity and the ability to deliver the required goods and services competitively.

    The successful supplier must be able to produce a garment which is practical, comfortable and durable for all users and remains smart after regular use and frequent laundering.
