Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought cleaning and janitorial supplies for delivery to 27 points across its Frenchay, Glenside and Bower Ashton campuses in Bristol. This is a goods requirement focused on cleaning products and associated janitorial consumables. The university is the buying organisation and the supplies support its campus operations. The delivery network covers multiple university sites rather than a single premises, so relevant suppliers would need to provide a broad range of routine cleaning and janitorial products and manage distribution across the three Bristol campuses. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids had to be submitted by 3 July 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 13 July 2026 to Nationwide Hygiene Supplies Limited for £99,960.13, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and covers the full cleaning and janitorial supplies requirement. Evaluation was conducted within the framework call-off process. The University of the West of England is the buyer, and the selected supplier is a large organisation based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for recurring cleaning and janitorial product supply across a multi-campus university estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable catalogue of cleaning products and janitorial consumables, the operational capacity to serve 27 delivery points, and distribution arrangements covering Frenchay, Glenside and Bower Ashton in Bristol. Experience of supplying institutional or similarly dispersed customers would help demonstrate reliability, stock management and consistent fulfilment. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, so smaller distributors with adequate range, logistics and service capacity could be well placed to compete. Suppliers already appointed to the relevant framework would also understand the route used for this purchase.
