What is it used for in a local authority?

Textile ties the event or service to the town:

Municipal events — town races and trails, festivals, volunteer days.
Municipal sports schools and leisure centres — tees and bibs in kids' sizes.
Staff and volunteers — identifiable sports-department staff, marshals and helpers.
Prizes and giveaways — tournament rewards, finisher tees, sublimated items from €4.09 excl. VAT.

Quotes and competitive purchasing: how it works

For purchases under the French no-procedure threshold (€40,000 excl. VAT for supplies), a quote is generally sufficient; above it, your consultation follows your internal rules. In both cases we provide, within 48 h, a detailed and dated quote — unit prices excl. VAT by tier, technical description of the fabrics (composition, weight), firm lead times — usable directly as a supporting document. Every product has a public spec sheet on the site. See pricing and request a quote.

Chorus Pro, administrative mandate, payment terms

We work with public purchasing channels: order on an accepted quote (purchase order or administrative mandate), invoice filed on Chorus Pro with your references (authority SIRET, commitment number, service code), payment by the public accountant's transfer at 30 days after delivery. No upfront payment is required from public buyers on an accepted quote — just describe your process when requesting the quote.

VAT: how does an EU-established supplier invoice?

OLB Sports OOD is established in Bulgaria, within the European Union. Prices are shown excluding VAT; applicable VAT is added according to the delivery country. The quote states clearly which regime applies to your situation, so the total cost is known before commitment.

Town crest, brand guidelines and colours

The town's crest or logo, brand guidelines, event name, institutional partners: everything is integrated by sublimation, with no surcharge for the number of colours. We match your colour references (Pantone) to stay true to the guidelines. A proof (BAT) is approved by your departments before any production. See logos & partners and colours & Pantone.

Lead times for a dated event

2 to 4 weeks of production after proof approval, or express (72 h to 2 weeks) depending on the product and workload. For a race or festival on a fixed date, build internal validation into the schedule and start the quote early. See turnaround times and events.
