Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Liverpool procured washroom services, described as a call-off for washroom services under a framework. The requirement is classified as removal of biological waste, indicating waste removal associated with washroom provision. The buyer is National Museums Liverpool, based at World Museum in Liverpool. Delivery is in the North West of England. This is a services contract for the museum organisation; the published scope does not break down the specific washroom tasks or sites covered.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Rentokil Initial plc. The award was made on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 31 October 2026 to 31 October 2028, with an awarded value of £35,143.96. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from ESPO framework 239_24, Washroom Services. The tender submission deadline was 21 October 2026. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions beyond indicating that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers considering similar future work for National Museums Liverpool, this award demonstrates demand for washroom services delivered through the ESPO framework route, with associated biological-waste removal. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable washroom servicing and manage the related waste-removal requirements for a museum buyer in the North West. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, so the requirement was not confined to large suppliers. The selected supplier was Rentokil Initial plc, a large provider, demonstrating that established scale can compete for this work. Relevant operational capacity would include maintaining service across the buyer’s requirements and meeting applicable waste-handling obligations; the published scope gives no more specific service or accreditation requirements.
