Cleaning Agents — Public Procurement
The procurement of cleaning agents and hygiene products is a recurring procurement subject for municipalities, hospitals, schools and public institutions. The product range covers general-purpose cleaners, disinfectants, sanitary cleaners, washing-up liquid, laundry detergents and hygiene paper products. Sustainability certifications (EU Ecolabel, Blue Angel) are increasingly required.

Challenges in tender discovery
Cleaning agents are tendered by various procurement bodies — building management procurement teams, central purchasing offices or cleaning service providers themselves (as a subcontractor service). CPV classification is not always consistent, and tenders sometimes use generic terms such as "hygiene items" or "cleaning consumables".
The growing requirements for environmental certifications and the exclusion of certain ingredients (microplastics, particular surfactants) increase the complexity of preparing bids.
