Summary of the contracting process

Fusion School Services Limited is procuring a non-exclusive supply of cleaning materials and janitorial supplies for use in its operations in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers floorcare, washroom, kitchen and catering, laundry and general cleaning chemicals; concentrated cleaning products; janitorial equipment; paper products; personal protective equipment; waste-management consumables; cleaning accessories; and related ancillary consumables. The associated product range includes refuse sacks and bags, soap, hand sanitiser, toilet paper, hand towels, serviettes, laundry supplies, and cleaning and polishing products. Fusion School Services may obtain equivalent goods from alternative suppliers, so this is a supply arrangement rather than an exclusive sole-source commitment. The buyer is a public authority operating at sub-central government level and is based in Exeter.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective route under a framework agreement, without reopening competition. There is one completed lot. The contract award date is 1 August 2026, and the selected supplier is AUK Supplies Limited trading as AUK Hygiene. The award value is £450,000 excluding VAT, or £540,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with extensions available for two further 12-month periods, allowing a maximum end date of 31 August 2030. A standstill period is scheduled to end on 24 August 2026, with contract signature due by 25 August 2026. The arrangement includes options for agreed contract variations where legally permitted.

This opportunity indicates recurring demand from a school-services buyer for a broad, catalogue-based range of cleaning and hygiene supplies rather than a single specialist product. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have dependable access to chemicals, concentrates, paper hygiene products, laundry and catering supplies, janitorial equipment, PPE, refuse sacks and associated consumables. Credibility would depend on consistent product availability, reliable fulfilment across the buyer’s United Kingdom operating area, and the ability to provide equivalent products when required. A supplier should also be able to support routine institutional purchasing across multiple cleaning environments, including washrooms, kitchens, laundries and general facilities. The appointed business is an SME, indicating that this requirement can be served by a focused specialist distributor as well as a larger national supplier.
