Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees is initiating a procurement process for the "Provision of Washroom Services," currently in the planning stage. The services fall under the industry category of waste management and sanitary services. The procurement involves the supply of sanitary bins, nappy bins, and sharps bins/containers with potential additional requirements such as hand dryers and other rental items.

With an estimated contract value of £690,000 gross, businesses that can provide comprehensive and adaptable washroom services will find this opportunity beneficial.
