Summary of the contracting process

YPO, acting as a central purchasing body for itself and other contracting authorities, procured a framework for paper hygiene products and associated dispensers. The requirement covers toilet paper, handkerchiefs, hand towels and serviettes, supplied as different product ranges and families. Suppliers are required to deliver stock into YPO’s distribution centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. The framework is divided into four product lots: two premium ranges, a value range and YPO-branded products. The purchasing arrangements are intended to serve YPO and the other public bodies permitted to use its agreements. This is a goods requirement for manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of commercial paper hygiene products, dispensers and related stock-management and delivery services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure as a framework agreement. The tender closed on 6 October 2022 at 14:00, and the framework commenced on 23 January 2023. The framework period is stated to end on 22 January 2027, while the lot contract periods run from 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2026; renewal after 3.5 years was possible. Arrow County Supplies Ltd was awarded Lots 3 and 4, Essity UK Limited Lot 2, and Kimberly-Clark Limited Lot 1. Three bids were recorded overall and three for Lots 1 and 2. The original framework value was £5,000,000, later increased to £7,500,000 after higher-than-anticipated sales, to allow time for re-tendering. Evaluation was 40% price, 20% quality, 20% delivery and customer service, and 20% social value and sustainability. Variants were not allowed.

This outcome demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for commercial paper hygiene supplies delivered through a framework and a central distribution operation. Competitors would need a dependable range covering premium, value and branded paper products, together with compatible dispensers and the ability to maintain stock availability for YPO and participating public authorities. The successful supplier profile also requires credible delivery and customer-service arrangements, consistent product quality, and evidence of social value and sustainability in the offer. Suppliers should be prepared for an open-procedure competition in which price is important but accounts for less than half of the evaluation. The participation of both an SME and large manufacturers shows that businesses of different scales can compete, provided they can meet the supply and service requirements.
