PPE, Workwear, Janitorial and Site Equipment Supplies Framework
Framework Description
Efficiency East Midlands' PPE, Workwear, Janitorial and Site Equipment Supplies Framework gives members a compliant route to protective equipment, uniforms, cleaning consumables and site equipment. It is a single-lot framework, not a DPS, and closed to new applications; it lets members buy across all four product areas from one group of appointed suppliers. It runs until 15 March 2028 with no extension listed.
Context & Use Case
Housing associations, local authorities and other EEM members use it to equip maintenance operatives, caretakers and cleaning teams, and sometimes contractors working on their behalf. Because PPE, workwear, janitorial products and site equipment sit in one lot, a member can cover protective clothing, uniforms, cleaning consumables and tools through a single route rather than several supplier contracts.
Scope of Services
Personal protective equipment (PPE) Workwear and uniforms Janitorial supplies and consumables Site equipment and tools Branding and ordering support
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Suits PPE, workwear and janitorial distributors able to supply the EEM member base reliably. Applications for this framework are closed, so distributors not appointed cannot join now. The re-tender is likely around 15 March 2028, as no extension is listed.
Buyer Benefits
Buying PPE, workwear and janitorial products from one route cuts the number of suppliers members manage and gives them agreed prices. They value reliable stock and delivery, products that meet safety standards, easy online ordering and branded workwear that stays consistent across teams.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should keep product catalogues, pricing and delivery performance data ready for member orders and further competitions. Other distributors should prepare for the replacement procurement before 15 March 2028: follow EEM's notices on Find a Tender and gather evidence of supplying public sector or housing organisations, including ordering systems and sustainability credentials.
How Athena Can Help
Supplies frameworks are usually won on price, range and service levels. For appointed suppliers, Athena's pricing and bid support helps you win further competitions with pricing models and clear service commitments.
For distributors aiming at the 2028 re-tender, our framework registration team can prepare the selection answers, policies and evidence in advance, and our public tender support covers the social value and sustainability answers that increasingly decide close scores between rival distributors.
