Educational Resources, a company under Georgia’s Ministry of Education, is seeking to amend its GEL 45.6 million contract for school uniforms with Chinese supplier Glory Textile Industry. The changes include an additional order of 40,000 XL-size uniforms and an extension of the delivery schedule.
According to documents submitted to the State Procurement Agency, an additional 55,000 uniforms are needed. Of these, 15,000 units in M, L and XL sizes are expected to be delivered by the original deadline of November 30, 2026. The remaining 40,000 XL-size items, including 18,000 girls’ blazers, 17,000 boys’ blazers and 5,000 knee-length skirts, are to be supplied by January 31, 2027. The contract will therefore include a fourth delivery stage, and its validity period will be extended until March 31, 2027.
The company says sales data showed demand for XL sizes even among younger pupils, with demand expected to rise further as uniforms are sold to students in grades II–VI. The additional order is intended to prevent shortages, and the supplier has agreed to deliver the items at the original unit prices. The procurement agency has been asked to approve the amendment by November 16. No additional funding will be required, as the extra uniforms will be supplied under the existing contract.
The original contract, signed on June 19, 2026, is worth GEL 45,658,840, including VAT, and covers 1.801 million school uniforms. It was awarded through direct negotiations without a tender. The manufacturer is China’s Jiangsu SUMEC ETON KIDD Brand Management Co., Ltd., while the Georgian supplier, Glory Textile Industry, was established in March 2026. The contract sets unit prices of GEL 39.61 for girls’ blazers, GEL 35.43 for boys’ blazers, GEL 16.76 for skirts and GEL 19.65 for trousers. The complete boys’ uniform costs GEL 74.73 and the girls’ set GEL 76.02. The uniforms are branded Eton Kidd and come with a 12-month warranty.
