Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves North Lanarkshire Council, which is seeking to establish a framework for the Provision of Sanitary Products for the period from 2020 to 2024. This initiative is part of the Scottish Government's strategy to combat period poverty, with an estimated contract value of £1,084,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the location for delivery encompasses various establishments across North Lanarkshire. The main procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded to Fast Aid Products Ltd on 30th October 2020. The framework has an initial term of two years, with potential extensions in years three and four.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers of sanitary products, particularly those experienced in high-volume, multi-establishment service provision, such as those catering to schools, community centres, and NHS facilities. Companies that can demonstrate a history of working with similar clients, along with a capacity for timely delivery and adherence to quality standards, will be well-suited to compete. This initiative not only reflects a commitment to social issues but also offers a platform for suppliers to enhance their visibility and impact within the community through partnership with local government efforts aimed at improving public health and equality.
