Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council procured domestic supplies for care homes and extra-care services. The requirement covers cleaning materials and protective clothing, combining chemical products with clothing and related accessories. The goods are for use in the council’s care home and extra-care operations in Bath and North East Somerset. This is a goods supply requirement rather than a cleaning or care service: relevant businesses would supply consumable cleaning products, protective workwear or both. The council is the public-sector buyer, based at The Guildhall in Bath. The requirement is focused on supporting domestic operations in care settings, so suppliers should be able to provide practical day-to-day supplies suitable for those environments.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Gompels Healthcare Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold and was conducted without competition. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £41,147 excluding VAT, or £49,376 including VAT. There was one completed lot, covering the full requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies Gompels Healthcare Limited as the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the outcome reflects the council’s decision to appoint a supplier without inviting competing bids.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Bath & North East Somerset Council for cleaning materials and protective clothing used in care homes and extra-care settings. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable range of chemical cleaning products and suitable protective clothing, with the ability to supply both categories where required. Operational capability matters: suppliers should be able to fulfil routine orders consistently, maintain product availability and deliver to care-related premises across the council’s area. Experience supplying healthcare, social-care or other controlled service environments would help demonstrate an understanding of hygiene, staff protection and dependable replenishment. Businesses specialising in either cleaning consumables or protective workwear may also be relevant if the requirement is separated in future.
