Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured cleaning consumables for its cleaning services: paper products, specifically paper hand towels, and cleaning cloths. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or works contract. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s Hucknall Road site in Nottingham, NG5 1PB, within the East Midlands. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of institutional paper products and cleaning textiles, particularly businesses able to supply both product groups as a coordinated range. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust, and the requirement supports routine cleaning operations across its facilities. The procurement was handled as a supply arrangement rather than a requirement for contractors to provide cleaning staff or cleaning services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Lyreco UK Limited. The award was made on 9 April 2025 for £147,000, with the contract running from 9 April 2025 to 8 April 2028. The procurement’s stated estimated value was £98,000, with a minimum estimated value of £147,000. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the purchase conducted through an e-auction. The underlying requirement was evaluated through that purchasing route. The contract covers the supply of paper products and cleaning cloths for the Trust’s cleaning services. The award is active, and the contracting process itself is recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for centrally supplied paper hand towels and cleaning cloths, delivered to a major hospital trust through a dynamic purchasing system and e-auction. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable wholesale or manufacturing access to institutional-grade paper products and cleaning cloths, with the operational capacity to fulfil regular healthcare-site orders. It would also need pricing and catalogue systems capable of supporting electronic competition, alongside reliable order processing, stock management and distribution to Nottingham. The requirement is best suited to established commercial suppliers with broad product coverage, resilient supply chains and experience serving large public-sector or healthcare customers. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
