Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured replacement bath equipment, classified as baths (CPV 44411200), as a goods requirement. The purchase is for delivery in Shefford, with the stated delivery postcode SG17 5TQ, and is associated with delivery within the United Kingdom and a range of wider locations. The requirement concerns supplying replacement baths rather than construction, installation or ongoing care services. The council is the buying organisation and the selected supplier is Fairfield Care Products Ltd, whose registered address is in Bedford. This is therefore relevant to businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply bath products for public-sector or care-related environments, particularly those able to serve Central Bedfordshire Council’s area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Central Bedfordshire Council used a quotation procedure described as “Other”. Questions were accepted until 7 August 2026, and completed quotations had to be submitted electronically through the In-tend system by 10am on 14 August 2026. The contract was awarded to Fairfield Care Products Ltd on 24 August 2026 for a stated value of £0. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 27 February 2027. The award is active, and the tender is recorded as complete. The published information identifies the successful supplier and the contract period, but does not set out a scored evaluation basis or separate lots. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Central Bedfordshire Council for replacement bath products, with delivery associated with Shefford and the council’s wider service area. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitable bath equipment, understand replacement requirements and offer dependable fulfilment for a public-sector buyer. The procurement also shows that the council uses an electronic quotation route, with questions and submissions handled through the In-tend system, so suppliers should be able to manage that process accurately and respond to formal requirements. The selected supplier’s business is based in Bedford, indicating the relevance of regional distribution capability and practical access to Central Bedfordshire. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
