High-Visibility Workwear Supply, Leasing, and Laundry Services

East Midlands Railway (EMR) is seeking qualified suppliers to provide a comprehensive high-visibility workwear solution for the Fleet Department. This opportunity is structured in three flexible lots to maximize value: Lot 1 covers workwear purchase, Lot 2 includes workwear leasing with laundering services, and Lot 3 provides laundering services only. EMR reserves the right to award Lots 1 and 3 together, Lot 2 independently, or any combination that best serves its needs. The successful supplier(s) will deliver a fully managed, end-to-end service ensuring all workwear meets safety and compliance standards (including Network Rail RIS-3279-TOM). Key responsibilities include supply, sizing, branding, tracking, repairs, replacements, reliable delivery and collection, regular laundering, and user-focused distribution through locker facilities. The service must support EMR's geographically dispersed workforce across all locations with consistent quality, efficient coordination, responsive issue resolution, and sustainability practices. The procurement will follow the Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with provisions for contract transfer to future operators.
