Beauty Products Tenders and Contracts

Beauty products procurement covers make-up, skincare, haircare and salon consumables, and the beauty kits and equipment used to teach hair and beauty courses. Hairdressing supplies, uniforms and salon furniture are often bought in the same contracts.

Stotles brings together beauty products tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Colleges usually call off beauty and salon products from consortium frameworks such as the APUC Hair and Beauty framework and the CPC Salon Products and Equipment framework.

Cosmetic products must comply with the UK cosmetics regulations, including safety assessment and labelling, and salon equipment must meet UK product safety rules. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar supply contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Both. Some beauty product contracts are one-off supply contracts for a single college, and others are multi-supplier framework agreements that several institutions can call off from.

Further education and higher education colleges are common buyers, sourcing beauty and salon supplies for hairdressing and beauty therapy courses. Purchasing consortia run some of these contracts on behalf of several colleges at once.

Read college curriculum and equipment budgets, consortium framework renewal dates and expiry dates for existing supply contracts, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the colleges and consortia behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
