Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council procured washroom services and supplies for its estate, with deliveries to locations across Fife. The requirement was divided into two lots: washroom solutions covering sanitary and nappy waste disposal, sanitisers, air fresheners, sharps disposal and medical waste disposal; and sanitary products. The sanitary-products lot supports the provision of free sanitary protection to students in educational establishments, in line with the Scottish Government’s commitment to dignity for women. This is a goods contract, with the council buying products and associated disposal services for use across its locations. The washroom-solutions lot was awarded to Rentokil; the sanitary-products lot was awarded to Mayflower Washroom Solutions Limited (phs).

The procurement is complete and both lots have been awarded. Fife Council extended its existing arrangement to bridge the gap before a replacement framework starts. The extension was made under regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, following an open procedure. The contracts were signed on 29 September 2026 and cover 1 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. The washroom-solutions lot was awarded to Rentokil for £1,131,221.22; the sanitary-products lot was awarded to Mayflower Washroom Solutions Limited (phs) for £1,273,204.26. One bid was received for each lot. The extension allows additional purchases in accordance with the regulation. The award information does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers targeting Fife Council, the award demonstrates demand for both routine washroom provision and sanitary products across multiple council locations. A credible competitor would need to supply a broad washroom range, including sanitary and nappy waste services, sanitising and air-freshening products, and safe sharps and medical-waste disposal. For the separate sanitary-products requirement, suppliers need the capacity to provide products supporting free access for students in educational establishments. The two-lot structure shows that these product and service areas can be procured separately, so specialists need not necessarily cover both. The contract was awarded to established, large suppliers, indicating that dependable delivery across Fife and the ability to serve a public-sector customer at scale are relevant strengths.
