Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured sanitary waste services for its main campuses in Salford, Greater Manchester. The requirement covers the provision and delivery of sanitary waste services across a large university estate, including teaching and research areas, administrative offices and trading outlets. The university has approximately 127,000 students, nearly 2,500 staff and 26 buildings. The service is coordinated by the Facilities Team within the Estates & Facilities Division, so the requirement is relevant to suppliers able to provide managed sanitary waste provision across multiple occupied buildings and varied operational settings. The procurement is categorised as a waste-related service, with the associated classification covering refuse and waste services. The buyer is the University of Salford, a public authority and higher education organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 July 2026 to PERSONNEL HYGIENE SERVICES LIMITED. The awarded value is £69,922.80 gross for one lot. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The University of Salford may extend it twice, by up to 12 months on each occasion, giving a maximum term to 1 July 2031. The procurement was below threshold, used an unspecified below-threshold method and involved a framework agreement. The contract is active. The original requirement described an estimated value of £20,000 per annum excluding VAT, based on contract history, a potential three-year term and extension options. The award and contract values are reported separately here because they represent the published outcome.

This award demonstrates established demand from the University of Salford for a managed sanitary waste service covering a substantial, multi-building higher education estate. A credible future competitor would need specialist sanitary waste capability, reliable collection and servicing arrangements, and the operational capacity to support teaching, research, office and trading environments within one university organisation. Suppliers should be able to coordinate delivery through a central facilities function, maintain consistent service standards across numerous buildings and manage a multi-year public-sector contract. Experience serving large estates, universities, public authorities or other organisations with varied and continuously occupied premises would help demonstrate the scale and service discipline relevant to this requirement. The successful supplier was a large business, indicating that capacity and established delivery infrastructure may be commercially significant.
