Production and Supply of Traditional Uniform Shirts
England and Wales
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.

Production and Supply of Traditional Uniform Shirts
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside will incorporate a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period, that will be for a minimum of ten calender days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations (SI 2006 No 5) provides for aggreived parties who have been harmed or who are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
