Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council procured the supply and distribution of paper products, janitorial products and chemical products to various locations across Fife. The procurement is for goods in the cleaning-products category, including paper consumables, general janitorial supplies and cleaning chemicals. It was divided into four intended areas: paper products, janitorial products, chemical products and a one-stop-shop option covering the broader requirement. The requirement concerns a distributed supply service rather than a single delivery location, so relevant businesses would need to support deliveries to council sites across Fife. This is a council-wide purchasing requirement for routine cleaning and hygiene supplies, with the emphasis on product supply, distribution and dependable coverage of multiple locations.

The procurement has been awarded following a tender procedure, with nine bids recorded. The winning allocation was Lot 1, Paper Products, to Instock Disposables Ltd; Lot 2, Janitorial Products, to Alliance Disposables Ltd; and Lot 3, Chemical Products, to Bunzl UK Ltd trading as Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies. The award value recorded for these winning lots is £3,587,943.26 including the stated currency, although the source does not split that value between suppliers or lots. A contract is recorded as active. The award description identifies winners for three lots; the fourth, One-Stop-Shop lot, is not identified among the winning lots. Evaluation was therefore conducted through a competitive tender, with the outcome separated by product area.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need established supply capability across paper products, janitorial consumables and chemical cleaning products, or a clearly defined specialism in one of those areas. The awarded structure shows that Fife Council can use separate suppliers for different product categories, so focused distributors may be relevant alongside broader one-stop suppliers. Businesses would need dependable warehousing, stock management, order fulfilment and distribution to multiple council locations across Fife. Experience serving public-sector or other multi-site customers would help demonstrate the ability to manage recurring orders, consistent product availability and reliable delivery. Chemical-product specialists would also need suitable handling and compliance arrangements, while paper and janitorial suppliers would need breadth across routine cleaning and hygiene lines.
