Special Olympics Great Britain is proud to support some of the most inspiring individuals in the world — athletes with intellectual disabilities who showcase the transformative power of sport at local, national, and international levels. Every event they compete in, every medal they win, and every boundary they break is a celebration of inclusion, resilience, and achievement.

As we look ahead to a National Summer sporting event in 2026 and Team Special Olympics GB’s participation in the 2027 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Chile, we are inviting proposals from passionate, experienced, and forward-thinking organisations to become our Official Kit Supplier.

This opportunity goes far beyond a standard supply agreement. We’re looking for a true partner — one who understands the performance demands, emotional impact, and symbolic value of wearing the Special Olympics GB kit.

What We’re Looking For

The successful partner will play a key role in designing and delivering kit for our athletes, coaches, volunteers, and National Office staff over the next two years — with the possibility of extending beyond 2027. More than just high-quality apparel, we’re looking for a supplier that can offer:

  • Technical excellence in sportswear that is inclusive, affordable, and comfortable.
  • A deep understanding of our athletes’ needs — and what our uniform represents.
  • Creative thinking that delivers beyond catalogues and standard packages.
  • Collaborative working with our team to bring the Special Olympics GB identity to life.
  • Reliable service with a heartfelt commitment to inclusion and impact.

Together, we want to create a kit that reflects unity, pride, and purpose — something our community will be proud to wear, on and off the field of play.

Next Steps

This Request for Proposal (RFP) outlines the full brief and application process for potential partners. If your organisation shares our values and ambition, we would love to hear from you.
