In plain English
Scotland Excel, a public buying body, wants to set up a framework agreement, which is a pre-approved list of suppliers that councils and other eligible public bodies in Scotland can order from. The contracts cover paper hygiene products, janitorial supplies, cleaning chemicals, sanitary products and cleaning equipment, with an estimated total value of £84 million.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and deliver hygiene and washroom products, janitorial supplies, cleaning chemicals and sanitary products to participating public bodies across Scotland, across four lots: Paper Products, Janitorial Products, Chemicals and Sanitary Products. • Supply and deliver cleaning equipment such as mops, buckets, vacuums, scrubber-dryers, sweepers, rotary machines and carpet extractors, and provide servicing for it. • Where bidding for a lot, be prepared to offer standard products and, where the lot allows, environmentally sustainable or concentrated options. Full requirements are in the Invitation to Tender on the PCS-Tender portal.
Lots
- Paper Products
- Janitorial Products
- Chemicals
- Sanitary Products
- Washroom Solutions

Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice says bidders may be excluded if they fall under any of the situations in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, and it refers to the tender documents for the detail, so check those before bidding; the notice itself does not set out turnover, insurance or delivery capacity thresholds, but the £84 million multi-council scope means the tender documents are worth reading closely for any such conditions.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
