II.1.4) Short description
Star Academies is looking to run an FTS (EU) compliant tender with the intention of creating a contract with a single supplier. This will be a restricted process and a process timetable can be found in the documents. The supplier selected must be able to provide the complete provision of uniform supply and sales to pupils / parents across all Star schools. As a growing Trust, we anticipate that the scope of this tender will expand to include uniforms at all new schools that open or join the Trust before the contract start date and during the contract term. The selected supplier will be expected to supply uniforms for these schools within the contractual arrangements set out in this document. The Contract will be based on Star’s Terms and Conditions.
