In plain English

Hertfordshire County Council and Hampshire County Council are looking for suppliers to provide washroom paper products (branded and generic toilet paper, paper towels, and dispensers) to schools and local authority buildings across the UK. This is a framework agreement, meaning successful bidders will be on an approved list and customers will order from them over several years.

What the buyer wants

• Supply two types of paper products: Lot 1 (branded products, exact brands only) and Lot 2 (generic/own-brand products meeting specified dimensions) • Deliver goods in bulk to central stores using agreed palletisation methods, with possible direct delivery to end users • Produce annual paper catalogues (April to March) so customers can select and order products

Lots

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a very large framework (£20.8 million estimated value) requiring significant bulk supply, warehousing, logistics, and catalogue production capability: most one-person trades or very small businesses will lack the operational scale, delivery infrastructure, and working capital needed to compete effectively.
