Challenges in tender discovery
Clothing and equipment procurements are published under a wide variety of terms: "service uniforms", "operational equipment", "personal protective equipment (PPE)", "combat equipment" or "carrying systems". The target groups (military, police, fire service, THW) each use their own terminology.
In addition, textile supplies are often tendered with demanding certification requirements (e.g. STANAG standards, EN standards) that only become visible on closer inspection of the tender documents.
