Lancashire County Council, based in Preston, is the buying organization overseeing this contract, with the assistance of Social Value Portal Ltd in evaluating social value criteria. The process comprises several stages, from planning to awarding, with the tendering phase concluded in early 2026 and resulting in awards to various suppliers, including Banner Group Limited and Cromwell Polythene Limited. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category, with key deliveries taking place across numerous educational establishments in Lancashire, and a significant contract period lasting from August 2026 to July 2028, with possible extensions up to 2030. This tender provides substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers dealing in cleaning materials, polythene bags, and chemical products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited to compete, as evidenced by the significant participation of SMEs in the tendering process. Companies capable of efficiently managing direct deliveries to multiple sites and offering competitive pricing while ensuring high-quality products will find this procurement advantageous. The contracting framework's potential for extension also presents continued business prospects within a secure contractual relationship with Lancashire County Council. ## Notice Lancashire County Council is inviting tenders on the terms set out in this ITT to secure a multi-lotted framework agreement for the supply and delivery of cleaning materials: Lot 1: Direct Delivery of Cleaning Materials Lot 2: Bulk Supply of Polythene Bags Lot 3: Bulk Supply of Paper Products Lot 4: Bulk Supply of Chemicals Lot 5: Bulk Supply of Cleaning Materials The Purchaser (Lancashire County Council) is inviting tenders on the terms set out in the ITT for the direct delivery of cleaning materials (Chemicals, Cleaning Fluids, Paper, Refuse Bags, Cleaning Equipment etc...)
