Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured washroom hygiene services for its operations in the North East of England. The requirement covers specialist hygiene services for washroom facilities, classified under CPV 85142300. The buyer is based in Middlesbrough and the services are to be delivered across the North East. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The awarded requirement indicates demand from a housing organisation for an external provider able to deliver and maintain washroom hygiene services across its operating area. Organisations providing commercial washroom hygiene, sanitary services and related facility hygiene support would be the closest fit for this requirement and buyer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a limited competitive quotation process below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 9 October 2023 at 12:00. Thirteen Housing Group Limited awarded the contract to Rentokil Initial UK Limited trading as Initial Washroom Hygiene on 17 October 2023. The award value is £46,192. The contract runs from 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2026. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded procurement category is services, and the published tender value and awarded value are the same. One supplier is identified as the award recipient.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for outsourced washroom hygiene services within a housing group operating in the North East. It provides a useful benchmark for suppliers assessing comparable work: the buyer used a below-threshold competitive quotation route and selected an established, large-scale specialist provider. A credible future competitor would therefore need dependable operational coverage across the North East, the capacity to service multiple housing-related locations, and practical expertise in delivering routine washroom hygiene services consistently. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate service reliability, responsive account management and the resources needed to maintain standards over a multi-year arrangement. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller or socially focused providers with adequate regional delivery capacity may also be relevant.
