Workwear and PPE tenders in the Nordics and Germany
Municipalities, hospitals, armed forces and utilities buy uniforms, workwear, protective clothing, footwear and hospital textiles all the time, often through multi-year framework agreements. MarketScope collects these tenders and their winners from TED, Doffin, Hilma and the German portal across the Nordics, the Baltics, Germany and Poland, so you see them in time and know who wins.
What we monitor
Clothing and textile contracts are often multi-year framework agreements, so a missed tender can mean years without a chance to supply that buyer. The pack collects new tenders, prior information notices and winners, so you know who supplies a buyer today and can watch for the next time that buyer goes to market.
Workwear and uniforms
The whole CPV 18 group (clothing, footwear, bags) and uniforms (CPV 3581): from road maintenance crews to police and military uniforms.
PPE and protective clothing
Protective and high-visibility clothing, gloves and other personal protective equipment (CPV 35113).
Hospital textiles and rental
Textile articles (CPV 395), fabrics (192) and laundry and textile rental services (9831) bought by hospitals, care homes and municipalities.
Industry and competitors
Fristads, Blåkläder, Mascot, Snickers Workwear, Helly Hansen, Lindström, Elis, Mewa and other workwear and textile rental players, plus Lithuanian textile companies – 28 companies in the radar.
The ready-made workwear and textiles pack
The pack follows TED contract notices, prior information notices and award notices in ten countries, plus Doffin, Hilma and oeffentlichevergabe.de. For news it uses 21 sources: Textile World, Innovation in Textiles, Just Style, Knitting Industry, Occupational Health & Safety, Dagens Samhälle, Kuntalehti, Vårdfokus, Lithuanian business media and Google News queries on workwear and PPE in six languages.
Six rules separate workwear and uniforms, PPE, footwear, hospital textiles and rental, textile industry and raw material news, and risks. Scoring reads the CPV code to place each notice in one of 13 product and service groups, from uniforms and footwear to bed linen and laundry, and ranks Norway, Sweden and Denmark highest.
