## Summary

The University of Derby is currently seeking tenders for the supply of towels, sheets, and robes to support the hair and beauty salons and spa facilities at Buxton and Leek Colleges. This procurement process, classified under the CPV code for towels, is in the active tender stage with an open procurement method. The deadline for submissions is set for 23rd June 2019, and the contract period will commence on 1st July 2019, concluding on 31st July 2019. The total value of the contract is £10,000, aimed at enhancing the quality of the learning environment for students while also serving the public through professional hairstyling and spa treatments.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in textiles and hospitality supplies, particularly those that can provide quality linen products in a timely manner.
