Summary of the contracting process

Queen's University Belfast has finalised a procurement process for the provision of washroom services and refilling feminine hygiene vending machines across various premises on its campus. The procurement falls under the category of cleaning and sanitation services, with a contract valued at £208,916 and awarded to Personnel Hygiene Services Limited. This open procedure process began with a tender stage closing on 19 August 2024, followed by a standstill period as required by the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The contract was signed on 9 October 2024 and will last two years, with possible extensions up to a total of three more years. The primary location for this service is Belfast, Northern Ireland (UKN06 region).

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in cleaning and sanitation services. With an emphasis on both technical quality and cost-effectiveness (80% price, 20% quality), this tender was particularly suitable for well-established firms equipped to handle the stringent requirements of an educational institution. Although the initial contract phase is complete, the potential extension period may provide long-term engagement opportunities for the winning supplier and other economic operators interested in similar future tenders.
