## Summary

Midlothian Council initiated a tender for the "Home Delivery Period Products" project aimed at combatting period poverty in alignment with a recent Scottish Government initiative. This procurement falls within the goods category and is located in Dalkeith, Scotland. The contract, awarded to Hey Girls CIC, has a total value of £100,000 and was signed on 25 May 2022. The procurement process was conducted using a limited method, categorising this as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The pilot programme is now complete, providing insights into the feasibility of this service.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and distribution of health and hygiene products, particularly for companies that can offer discreet delivery solutions. Suppliers who can manage large orders and demonstrate an understanding of community-focused initiatives will be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement processes. Engaging with this sector can aid in addressing social issues while also expanding a business's market reach in public service contracts.
