Time to find out how to go about offering free menstrual care products? In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions about the procurement of menstrual care products and related dispensers.
Why procure menstrual protection dispensers?
To give suppliers the opportunity to offer their goods to the public sector on a level playing field, but also to promote competition in the market and thus make the best use of taxpayers' money. It also allows you to ensure that you get the best solution for your organisation.
How should we think about the requirements for our organisations' needs?
Think about what is important for your organisation in order to be able to offer long-term protection. In our experience, these points are important to include when setting requirements:
- A menstrual protection dispenser that offers both tampons and pads.
- A menstrual protection dispenser that is made of stainless steel.
- A menstrual protection dispenser that has a time lock of 4 minutes for a long-term solution.
- Menstrual protection dispensers that have a long shelf life where tests can show that they last a long time.
