In August PfH launched a new four-year framework agreement that could save its Members approximately 23% on Workwear, Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing. The agreement also includes special arrangements for an extensive footwear and protective clothing portfolio.

Following a competitive fully OJEU compliant tendering process, PfH appointed Arco as the sole supplier to Members. Arco is a market leader in this sector and PfH believes that they can provide an excellent service for Members throughout the UK.

Research carried out by PfH indicates that the Agreement with Arco will save Member housing organisations approximately 23% and it will be regularly benchmarked to ensure it remains competitive.

Ian Martin, Regional Development Director, Arco Ltd said, "Arco looks forward to providing PfH Members with the opportunity to reduce costs through transactional efficiency and improved service, whilst at the same time providing support and friendly advice through our expanding network of local branches."
