Summary of the contracting process

Inspire Education Group procured janitorial and cleaning supplies as goods for its education operations. The requirement covers consumable paper products, including toilet paper, hand towels and related paper items, as well as toilet cleaners and other cleaning products. The procurement also uses classifications associated with office and school cleaning supplies and services, indicating a requirement serving both office and educational environments. Inspire Education Group is based at Park Crescent, Peterborough. Three suppliers were selected for the requirement: Banner Group Limited, Ken Booth & Co Limited, and Alliance Disposables Limited. The opportunity is therefore relevant to distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers able to supply a broad range of washroom consumables and cleaning products to an education-sector buyer, rather than to businesses offering cleaning labour alone.

The procurement has reached the award stage following an open procedure. The award was dated 24 July 2026 and selected Banner Group Limited, Ken Booth & Co Limited and Alliance Disposables Limited, with an awarded value of £145,000 gross. The award covers one lot. The planned contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 5 August 2029, with an option to extend by one year and then a further year, up to 5 August 2031. A standstill period ends on 31 July 2026, and signature is scheduled for 6 August 2026. Eight bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. Evaluation weighted customer requirements at 70% and cost at 30%. The award is recorded as pending.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from an education-group buyer for a dependable, multi-product supply arrangement covering washroom paper, hand towels, toilet-cleaning products and wider cleaning consumables. A credible competitor would need a broad catalogue, reliable wholesale or manufacturing supply, consistent product availability and the logistics capability to service education facilities. The 70% quality weighting shows that meeting customer requirements was more important than lowest price, so suppliers should be able to evidence service performance, product suitability, account management and dependable fulfilment alongside competitive pricing. The three selected suppliers are large businesses, while three SMEs reached the final stage, indicating that smaller firms can compete where they can demonstrate sufficient range, capacity and operational resilience. The requirement may suit distributors with education, public-sector or multi-site supply experience.
