UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council bought cleaning and care products for two residential care homes. This is a goods supply requirement covering products used for cleaning and care in those homes, rather than a general cleaning service. The buyer is Central Bedfordshire Council, and delivery is for its two residential care homes in Central Bedfordshire. The contract title also refers to PPE, but the item classification identifies cleaning products and the scope description specifies cleaning and care products.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Fairfield Care Products Ltd through a competitive request for quotation under a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, and is valued at £81,000 including VAT. The stated contract measure is on-time delivery, monitored monthly. The award is active and the contract is active.

This outcome shows demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for a combined supply of cleaning and care products to two residential care homes, delivered over a multi-year contract. A credible competitor would need the range and supply capacity to serve both homes consistently, alongside reliable distribution and the ability to meet scheduled delivery requirements. Fairfield Care Products was selected through a competitive quotation process, so suppliers targeting this requirement should be able to price a clearly scoped product offer competitively and demonstrate dependable fulfilment. The work is product supply, not the provision of cleaning staff or care services; businesses focused on those services alone are less aligned with this purchasing need.
