UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln procured facilities-related consumable products for its campuses, including toilet paper, handkerchiefs, hand towels, serviettes, and cleaning and polishing products. The requirement also covers delivery and the replenishment or re-stocking of those items during the contract. This is a goods supply arrangement for consumables used in the day-to-day operation of university facilities. Delivery is associated with the University of Lincoln’s campuses in the Lincoln area. The buyer is the University of Lincoln, a public authority. The procurement covered one complete lot and combined product supply with an ongoing logistics and stock-management service rather than a one-off delivery of goods.

The procurement has been awarded and completed. It used a Request for Quotation process and was below the relevant threshold. BUNZL UK LIMITED was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2027, with one optional 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 10 August 2028. Its value is £90,000 excluding VAT and £108,000 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and is active. The contracting process was marked complete, with the award made to one supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the quotation process.

This procurement is most relevant to established facilities and hygiene-products distributors able to supply a broad range of everyday consumables and deliver reliably to university campuses. Credible competitors would need dependable warehousing and distribution, the ability to manage repeat orders and replenishment, and operational capacity to keep essential stock available across more than one campus or site. Experience serving institutional, education or other high-volume facilities customers would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where service consistency and delivery coordination matter as much as product supply. The successful supplier was a large business, indicating that scale, range and established logistics were relevant characteristics for this requirement. Future competitors should be able to demonstrate robust account management and responsive re-stocking arrangements.
