Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Metropolitan University procured washroom equipment and associated hygiene services for its Cardiff operations. The requirement covers the provision of washroom equipment and the services needed to support it; the awarded service is classified as hygiene services. The delivery location is Cardiff, in Wales. This is a university facilities requirement, suited to businesses supplying washroom equipment alongside ongoing hygiene service provision. The procurement was handled by Cardiff Metropolitan University, a public authority. Its scope is described at a high level as washroom equipment and services, rather than identifying particular equipment types or individual service tasks. Suppliers whose core offer combines washroom products with hygiene servicing are closest to the stated requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Personnel Hygiene Services Limited. Cardiff Metropolitan University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was for one lot, with the service category recorded as hygiene services. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £69,166 excluding VAT, or £83,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. These details show an established appointment for washroom equipment and services, rather than a competitive selection among bidders. The named supplier is based in Caerphilly.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates Cardiff Metropolitan University’s demand for a combined washroom equipment and hygiene service, delivered in Cardiff through a single-lot arrangement. A credible competitor would need to provide the equipment and the practical servicing capability as one coherent offer, with the operational capacity to support a university site over a sustained contract. The appointed supplier is a large business, indicating that the requirement has been met by a supplier with substantial scale; this does not establish a formal size threshold. Businesses specialising only in equipment or only in hygiene services may need a delivery partner to cover the full requirement. The award provides a buyer-specific reference point for the type of facilities service the university has purchased.
