PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow bought period care products for use in Glasgow. The requirement is for the supply of products, rather than a wider washroom services contract: it was placed as a call-off under the Washroom Services and Period Dignity Solutions framework, specifically its period dignity products lot. The products support the university’s provision of period care. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the product classification covering sanitary and similar personal-care articles. Delivery is associated with Glasgow. The contracting process has been completed and the products were awarded to a supplier. This is a relevant opportunity for suppliers of period care and hygiene products, particularly those able to supply public-sector organisations through the named framework route.

The procurement has been awarded to Bunzl UK Ltd trading as Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies, through a call-off from the Washroom Services and Period Dignity Solutions framework. The University of Glasgow described the route as a direct award, while the procurement method is recorded as open; the award was made against framework lot 14. The contract is active and was signed on 25 September 2026. Its recorded contract value is £400,000. The lot description gives an initial duration of two years, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. One bid was recorded. The process is complete; the data does not provide an award date or an evaluation basis.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates demand from the University of Glasgow for period care products at a substantial public-sector scale, procured through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the relevant period care and hygiene products and be able to meet the university’s requirements through the applicable framework route. The successful supplier’s business is focused on cleaning and hygiene supplies, indicating that a supplier operating in this product market can compete for this type of requirement. The opportunity is specifically for period care products, so relevant product range and the ability to serve a university buyer are more pertinent than general washroom services capabilities.
