Andorra Parishes Tender for High-Visibility Traffic Agent Uniforms

Andorra's parish councils are tendering for a supplier—or consortium of companies—to provide high-visibility uniforms and accessories for their municipal traffic services agents.

The contract, managed this year by Ordino parish on behalf of all Andorran parishes, covers a wide range of items. These include short-sleeved polo shirts styled as shirts, tie pins, standard and dress versions of various garments, and specialised gear such as high-visibility vests and motorbike protective suits. A key requirement is that several pieces must comply with ISO 20471 Category II standards for high visibility.

No fixed quantities are specified, as orders will depend on each parish's needs at any given time. Suppliers must deliver without minimum order thresholds, potentially involving small volumes, which favours companies with strong flexibility and logistics capabilities. Deliveries must occur within 18 weeks—four and a half months—of each order, with a minimum one-year warranty from handover.

Bidders must submit samples of every item during the selection process, in sizes L or XL, with sewn-on labels detailing the bidder's name, item code, description, care instructions, and usage guidelines where applicable. Samples for custom designs need not display the final visual uniform but must match the specified materials and features. Non-winning bidders will have their samples returned, even if damaged from testing; the winner's samples will be retained as references.

Once awarded, the supplier will take individual measurements for each agent, coordinated with the parishes, to ensure optimal sizing. Deliveries will then be personalised per agent, labelled with the items, sizes, and agent numbers.

This setup standardises technical specifications across all parishes while accommodating local demands.
