Description

The new University sports centre is a catalyst for reviewing many areas of our service, brand and identity being a key area under review. As part of this exercise considerable time has been spent reviewing sports club structures, identity, ownership and aspirations for the general development of sport within the university. As a result, and after consultation with its students, we are looking to award a joint contract for the provision of staff sports clothing, competition kit for sports teams under the Portsmouth Sport identity and a branded leisurewear range for the general university population. We are seeking a single clothing supplier and creating a stronger sport identity. Our aim is to develop a stronger sense of pride and association to the university if wearing a bespoke branded kit that is consistent across all teams.

Total Quantity or Scope

The purchase of kit has proved problematic for the University because of the nature of University sport deadlines in consideration to student arrivals, trials and fixtures. There is a relatively short window where a first year student will be accepted onto a team and be required to play a fixture. UOP will work with the supplier to ensure that the demand at this point can be met. This will include the pre-order of some technical kit based on predictions by UOP. Stock must be held by the supplier offsite within the UK on all items for the duration of the contract period. The university will not be liable for any held stock remaining at the end of the contract period.We are looking for a good quality student experience led by the supplier. The university will not engage with any returns or complaints regarding purchases, this must be dealt with by the named account manager and support team in an agreed timely fashion.

Renewal Options

The contracted maybe re-tendered at the end of it's term.
