Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council has successfully completed the award process for the "Ceredigion - Period Dignity Products Framework" under an open procedure. The council, located in Aberaeron, initiated this procurement to establish a supply framework for period products for use at various locations within Ceredigion from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with a potential one-year extension. The procurement, which followed Welsh devolved regulations, is a framework agreement covering the procurement category of goods, specifically paper sanitary products. The award process concluded on 18th December 2025, with a contract value of £180,000, excluding VAT, and engaged fourteen suppliers.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly for SMEs specialising in hygiene and sanitary products, as 12 out of 14 of the final stage bids were from SMEs. Companies focusing on eco-friendly and sustainable products would also find favourable criteria, as the council prioritises eco-friendliness and sustainability in their award criteria. Vendors catering to the public sector with offerings that align with the framework’s specifications will be well-positioned to benefit from participation in this tender. The flexible contract terms, with a potential extension option, provide suppliers with an opportunity for stable, long-term business growth in the region.
