An asymptotic estimate is obtained for the number of partitions of the positive integer n into unequal parts coming from a sequence u, with each part greater than m, under suitable conditions on the sequence u. The estimate holds uniformly with respect to integers m such that 0 ≤ m ≤ n1−δ, as n → ∞, where δ is a given real number, such that 0 < δ < 1.
