## Summary

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority procured the supply and delivery of cleaning products and janitorial supplies for its operational needs. The goods requirement covers cleaning materials rather than cleaning services or building maintenance. Delivery is recorded across England, spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement was handled as one lot. The awarded supplier is based in Newton Abbot, but the goods are intended for delivery across the stated English regions. This is a recurring supply requirement for a fire and rescue authority, suited to businesses able to source and distribute a broad range of hygiene and janitorial consumables across a wide geographic area.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority selected AUK Supplies Limited, trading as AUK Hygiene, through a direct award under the ESPO Framework 777_26, using a desktop assessment of framework suppliers against anticipated demand and historical spend to identify best value. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026, the award date. Its initial term runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with three optional 12-month extensions and a maximum end date of 31 August 2030. The contract value is £146,000 excluding VAT and £175,200 including VAT. The competition was below the applicable threshold, used one lot and was not a competitive framework call-off.

For suppliers that missed this award, the result shows that Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority buys cleaning materials and janitorial supplies through a framework route, with supplier selection informed by anticipated demand and historical spend. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate reliable sourcing across a suitable product range, dependable delivery, and the capacity to serve a geographically broad operation. The selected provider is an SME, indicating that this scale of supply was awarded to a small business rather than requiring a large corporate supplier. Suppliers already appointed to relevant frameworks, with evidence of value against the authority’s usage patterns and a distribution capability spanning multiple English regions, are best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
