Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council bought janitorial products, personal protective equipment, washroom and sanitary products, and catering sundries. The requirement covers the supply of cleaning and hygiene consumables, protective clothing and equipment, washroom items, paper products, catering supplies and related janitorial goods. Delivery and use are for Scottish Borders Council services in the Scottish Borders. The procurement was a goods contract under the Scotland Excel collaborative frameworks for janitorial products and PPE, washroom solutions and sanitary products, and catering sundries. The named buying organisation is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority based at Council Headquarters in Newtown St Boswells. The requirement spans a broad catalogue rather than a single product line, making it relevant to distributors and manufacturers with established public-sector supply arrangements across cleaning, hygiene, PPE and catering categories.

This is a completed contract award following an open procedure and a call-off from Scotland Excel frameworks, not a current invitation to tender. Scottish Borders Council awarded the requirement to Unico Limited. The award was made on 1 April 2026 and the contract is active, with the same date recorded as the signing date. Its value is £730,921.89. The published spend relates to the 12-month period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. There was one bid, from an SME, and no foreign or electronic bids were recorded. The procurement had one completed lot covering cumulative framework spend. Price and quality weightings, and other award criteria, did not apply to this cumulative-spend award.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial recurring demand from Scottish Borders Council for a wide range of operational consumables. The successful market offer needs breadth across janitorial supplies, PPE, washroom and sanitary products, paper and catering sundries, together with the ability to consolidate supply rather than serve only one narrow category. A credible competitor would need dependable stockholding, purchasing capacity and distribution arrangements capable of supporting council-wide requirements, with consistent fulfilment across the Scottish Borders. The single recorded bid came from an SME, showing that the requirement can be served by a smaller specialist or independent distributor as well as a larger national supplier. Access to the relevant Scotland Excel frameworks is commercially important, since this purchase was made through those collaborative arrangements.
