Summary of the contracting process

South Hams District Council, West Devon Borough Council and Teignbridge District Council sought suppliers of goods for council operations across the Devon council areas. The requirement was divided into two supply areas: personal protective equipment and clothing, including protective and safety clothing and workwear accessories; and janitorial, cleaning and polishing products, toilet paper, hand towels, handkerchiefs and other consumables. The appointed supplier or suppliers would deliver these items to the respective councils. This opportunity suited wholesalers, manufacturers, distributors and specialist public-sector or commercial supply businesses able to provide reliable ranges of workplace protective equipment, clothing, cleaning products, washroom consumables and related items. Businesses could consider either the PPE and clothing requirement, the janitorial and consumables requirement, or both.

The buyer invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 12:00, with electronic submission allowed in English. The intended award decision date was 12 June 2026. The procurement was cancelled on 17 July 2026, after the tender stage, and the published information gives no reason for the cancellation. It had two lots: PPE and Clothing, and Janitorial, Consumables and Additional Items. The estimated total value was £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT), with separate lot estimates of £700,000 excluding VAT (£840,000 including VAT) and £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). Both lots used price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%.

This procurement was relevant to suppliers with established capability in personal protective equipment, protective workwear, clothing and associated accessories, or in janitorial, cleaning, washroom and general consumable products. It also suited distributors and wholesalers able to serve three district councils through coordinated deliveries, maintain dependable product availability and manage orders across multiple authorities. Suppliers competing for the PPE lot would need suitable product ranges for workplace protection and clothing requirements. Suppliers targeting the janitorial lot would need breadth across cleaning products, toilet paper, hand towels, handkerchiefs and additional consumables. Businesses able to demonstrate consistent quality, robust fulfilment arrangements and experience supplying public bodies or comparable multi-site customers would have been well placed to compete, although the opportunity has been cancelled.
