THIS IS NOT A TENDER OPPORTUNITY Carmarthenshire County Council are looking to establish a framework to deliver its Period Dignity Programme to communities and schools across the region. The Period Dignity programme aims to ensure there is a dignified way of accessing free of charge period products for those who menstruate within education and those from low-income households in Carmarthenshire local authority area in the most practical and dignified way possible. The framework will cover the supply and distribution of period products for community and school settings. It will also cover a Period Dignity Home Pack service within secondary schools. This procurement is subject to funding provided by the Welsh Government. Accordingly, there is a risk that the value of the grant may increase, decrease, or be withdrawn entirely on an annual basis. Any potential extension to the contract will be reviewed annually, subject to the continued availability of funding.
