Summary of the contracting process

Cleveland Fire Authority procured washroom services comprising clinical waste collection and sanitary disposal. The requirement is classified as hygiene services and is a public-sector service rather than goods or construction work. The buyer is Cleveland Fire Authority, a regional public authority responsible for public order and safety, based in Hartlepool. The published delivery scope covers the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged through the ESPO 239/24 Washroom Services framework, indicating a requirement that can be delivered through an established framework route. The service is relevant to businesses providing managed washroom hygiene, sanitary waste collection, clinical waste handling and compliant disposal. Suppliers would need to understand the operational and compliance requirements associated with collecting and disposing of sanitary and clinical waste for a public-sector organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Cleveland Fire Authority used a limited procedure by direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, through the ESPO 239/24 Washroom Services framework. The award was made to Initial Washroom Hygiene, following one bid, with price as the stated evaluation criterion. The award is recorded as active and the contract was signed on 8 May 2025. The contract value is £3,458.15. An amendment records a change from £3,458.15 to £34,581.15, while the contract value remains recorded as £3,458.15. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. No contract duration or award date is provided in the procurement outcome.

This procurement provides a clear example of Cleveland Fire Authority’s demand for outsourced washroom hygiene and clinical waste services through a framework-based direct award. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in sanitary waste collection, clinical waste handling and safe, compliant disposal across the buyer’s required service area. Experience serving public-sector or similarly regulated premises would help demonstrate dependable operating procedures, suitable vehicles and equipment, trained staff, and the ability to maintain consistent scheduled service delivery. Because the recorded evaluation basis was price, suppliers would also need a competitive and transparent pricing model that covers collection, treatment and disposal. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that capacity and operational resilience may be important when serving a public authority.
