The requirement is for goods in the cleaning-products category (CPV 39830000), supporting the day-to-day cleaning and care needs of those facilities. Delivery is associated with the council’s site at Priory House, Chicksands, Bedfordshire, postcode SG17 5TQ, and the wider United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council. The selected supplier, Fairfield Care Products Ltd, is based in Bedfordshire. This is a supply opportunity rather than a cleaning-services or construction contract: businesses would be expected to provide the required products for residential care settings. The scope therefore suits distributors, manufacturers and specialist suppliers of cleaning and care consumables able to support council-operated care homes. The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Central Bedfordshire Council used a competitive request-for-quotation process. Fairfield Care Products Ltd was selected on 31 July 2026 for an award value of £81,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, covering a three-year supply period for two residential care homes. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. The award is active. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded procurement category is goods, and the stated evaluation route was a competitive RFQ process. This award shows a defined requirement for a supplier able to provide cleaning and care products consistently across two residential care homes for a multi-year period. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to an appropriate range of products, reliable fulfilment and the operational capacity to serve care settings rather than a single ad hoc site. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate clear product specifications, consistent quality, responsive ordering and delivery arrangements, and an understanding of the hygiene and care environment in which the products will be used. Relevant businesses include established distributors, manufacturers and specialist care-supply providers. The selected supplier’s performance provides a benchmark for the breadth of supply, service reliability and continuity that Central Bedfordshire Council may expect when this requirement returns to market. ## Notice Central Bedfordshire Council has awarded the CBC-1978-RFQ-ZH Cleaning and Care Supplies contract to Fairfield Care Products Ltd following a competitive RFQ process. The contract will provide cleaning and care products for two residential care homes over a three-year period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da26adb9-77ba-4e39-b244-45d8a47ee7d8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jul 2026 | | Contract period | 1 Aug 2026 - 31 Jul 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £81,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Central Bedfordshire Council | | Locality | BEDFORDSHIRE | | Postcode area | Stevenage | | Postcode | SG17 5TQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH25 Central Bedfordshire | | Local authority | Central Bedfordshire | | Electoral ward | Shefford | | Westminster constituency | Hitchin | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Fairfield Care Products Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39830000 - Cleaning products ## Release History - 13 Aug 2026 at 10:34 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da26adb9-77ba-4e39-b244-45d8a47ee7d8 - 13 Aug 2026 at 10:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da26adb9-77ba-4e39-b244-45d8a47ee7d8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da26adb9-77ba-4e39-b244-45d8a47ee7d8 13th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
