Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured cleaning and care products for use at two residential care homes. The requirement is for goods in the cleaning-products category (CPV 39830000), supporting the day-to-day cleaning and care needs of those facilities. Delivery is associated with the council’s site at Priory House, Chicksands, Bedfordshire, postcode SG17 5TQ, and the wider United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council. The selected supplier, Fairfield Care Products Ltd, is based in Bedfordshire. This is a supply opportunity rather than a cleaning-services or construction contract: businesses would be expected to provide the required products for residential care settings. The scope therefore suits distributors, manufacturers and specialist suppliers of cleaning and care consumables able to support council-operated care homes.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Central Bedfordshire Council used a competitive request-for-quotation process. Fairfield Care Products Ltd was selected on 31 July 2026 for an award value of £81,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, covering a three-year supply period for two residential care homes. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. The award is active. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded procurement category is goods, and the stated evaluation route was a competitive RFQ process.

This award shows a defined requirement for a supplier able to provide cleaning and care products consistently across two residential care homes for a multi-year period. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to an appropriate range of products, reliable fulfilment and the operational capacity to serve care settings rather than a single ad hoc site. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate clear product specifications, consistent quality, responsive ordering and delivery arrangements, and an understanding of the hygiene and care environment in which the products will be used. Relevant businesses include established distributors, manufacturers and specialist care-supply providers. The selected supplier’s performance provides a benchmark for the breadth of supply, service reliability and continuity that Central Bedfordshire Council may expect when this requirement returns to market.
