Washroom solutions and sanitary products

Framework No: 0122

About this framework

Framework period: 1 October 2022 until 30 September 2026

Scotland Excel’s washroom solutions and sanitary products framework will provide councils and associate members with a range of products and services including sanitary waste disposal, nappy waste disposal, sanitisers, air fresheners, sharps disposal, and medical waste disposal.

An “on-loan” provision is also included for certain equipment, which is free of charge to Scotland Excel members, and a second lot for sanitary products to support the Scottish Government’s commitment to promote dignity to women in educational establishments by providing free sanitary wear.

As with all our frameworks, this framework was developed in close consultation with key stakeholders. It is fully compliant with all legislative requirements and was developed in line with Scotland Excel’s sustainable procurement approach.

Key Facts

This framework incorporates additional requirements as a result of;

  • The increased requirement for additional products and disposal of nappy waste due to the Scottish Government’s pledge to increase the provision of free early learning and childcare provision to 1140 hours per year by the end of 2022.
  • The Scottish Government Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act 2021 ("the Act")
