## Summary

The procurement process focuses on the provision of period products to schools and post-16 education institutions across England, conducted by the Department for Education. The tender, which has a total value of £11,416,420, falls within the education and training services sector. The contract period started on 15 October 2019 and is set to conclude on 31 December 2020.

The relevant regions covered include the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, and the Isle of Man.

Suppliers that can provide reliable logistics and distribution networks across England will be well-positioned to compete in this contract, contributing to a crucial public health initiative while simultaneously fostering business growth within the education sector.
