Washroom Services and Period Dignity Solutions
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) has successfully completed an open procurement procedure to establish a multi-provider Framework Agreement for Washroom Services and Period Dignity Solutions. This initiative, targeting the hygiene services industry, marks a strategic evolution of an existing framework and involves significant geographic coverage, including various regions across the UK. The procurement process, active with a completion date of 29th May 2025, proceeded to the award stage, meaning contracts valued at £14,000,000 were signed on 1st May 2025.
The framework, initially set to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, offers an optional extension up to March 2029. Key lots include regional focus till Lot 13, with Lot 14 addressing national needs for Period Dignity Solutions, offering substantial opportunities for suppliers. This framework presents notable business growth potential, especially for large suppliers like Personnel Hygiene Services Limited, and small to medium enterprises such as Eco Hygiene Care Ltd, focusing on areas like hygiene waste management and period dignity products.
Enterprises well-equipped to handle washroom services or those providing sustainable period products stand to benefit significantly. Furthermore, with multiple lots up for grabs and considerable contract values, businesses can leverage these opportunities to expand their operations and footprint, particularly within public sector entities that form part of NWUPC and its partner organisations. The emphasis on quality and price in award criteria ensures competitive advantages for firms excelling in customer requirement fulfillment while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
NWUPC is seeking to establish a multi-provider Framework Agreement on behalf of the members of APUC, CPC, HEPCW, LUPC, NEUPC, NWUPC and SUPC for Washroom Services and Period Dignity Solutions as the successor to an existing framework agreement. This Framework Agreement will commence on 1st April 2025 for an initial period of thirty-six (36) months until 31st March 2028 with the option to extend the Agreement for 12 months until 31st March 2029 subject to satisfactory Economic Operator performance. The agreement is split into fourteen (14) lots.
