Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen bought cleaning and janitorial products for use at its facilities in Aberdeen. The requirement covers general cleaning and hygiene supplies, classified under CPV 39830000, and was awarded as lot 1 of the APUC framework for cleaning and janitorial products. This is a goods supply opportunity rather than a cleaning-services or building-works contract: the successful business provides the products, rather than the staff or service to clean the university. The buyer is a public-law university based at King’s College, Aberdeen. The awarded requirement is associated with the university’s own operations in Aberdeen and concerns the supply of products under the framework’s cleaning and janitorial category.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It was described as a direct award to the top-ranked supplier under the APUC framework, while the recorded procurement method is an open procedure. Bunzl CHS was awarded the single lot. The award was signed on 9 June 2026, and the contract is active. Its value is £1,300,000. The evaluation outcome reflects the framework ranking: one electronic bid was recorded for the lot, and the successful supplier was the top-ranked business. The opportunity was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available process information identifies one completed lot and one selected supplier, rather than a multi-lot award requiring separate bids or suppliers.

This award is useful market evidence for distributors and wholesalers of cleaning, hygiene and janitorial products that serve universities or other large public organisations. The requirement was fulfilled through the APUC framework, so businesses seeking comparable work would need to understand framework purchasing and qualify for the relevant cleaning and janitorial product category. The selected supplier, Bunzl CHS, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that established distribution capacity and the ability to supply a substantial institutional requirement are commercially relevant. The single electronic bid and the use of a ranked framework supplier also show that credible competitors need an effective electronic procurement process, dependable product availability and the breadth of range expected for a university-wide supply requirement.
