1. Introduction

1.1 About Penistone Grammar School

Penistone Grammar School is thriving. With first class teaching and a strong school community, we provide an excellent educational experience for our students. Everything we do is driven by our core values (Aim High; Be Determined; Be Brave; Be Supportive; Be Proud) and is underpinned by honesty, integrity and respect. We are extremely proud of the success of our students and have secured our position as one of the top secondary schools in the region.

With this ethos in mind we are seeking to appoint a supplier to produce our uniform for sale to parents of children who attend the school. Our aim is to provide a sustainable product, compliant with EU Regulations, at a competitive price and supported by excellent customer service. Further details of the school can be found on our website: www.penistone-gs.uk

1.2 About this Tender

The School is seeking to award a three-year contract to a single supplier of school blazers and clip-on ties.
