Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) has initiated a tendering process for a multi-provider Framework Agreement titled "Washroom Services and Period Dignity Solutions". This tender, published on 14th November 2024, is categorised under hygiene services and spans multiple regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the agreement scheduled to commence on 1st April 2025 and run for 36 months, with a 12-month extension option until 31st March 2029, depending on performance. Interested businesses must submit their bids by 17th December 2024 at 13:00 (UTC). The total estimated value of the contract is £14 million GBP, divided into fourteen lots, focusing on various washroom services and period dignity solutions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in hygiene services, facility-related sanitation services, disposable medical consumables, and personal care products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the open procurement method and the provision for regional lots which allow for localisation of service delivery. Companies that can provide comprehensive washroom services, including hand care products, mats, hand-drying apparatus, and medical waste services, would be well-positioned to benefit from this framework agreement. This engagement could result in substantial business growth by securing a long-term contract with reputable universities and institutions represented by the NWUPC.
