Feminine care forpublic-sector facilities

Feminine-care service for government & institutional is a scheduled washroom program, dispensers, sanitary disposal and restocking, from $1–3 per employee per year in product cost. Federal buildings carry a direct legal requirement; provincial and municipal ones carry public expectations. Both need procurement-grade documentation behind the service.

How service runs for government & institutional

Government workplaces sit closest to the mandate: federal departments are directly covered, and provincial institutions procure to formal standards with RFP cycles, bilingual documentation and audit-ready records as scoring lines. Security clearances and escorted access add a scheduling layer that puts a premium on visits that never miss, recovery is slow when access takes days to book.

Sector need

Procurement-grade supply

Structured quotes, bilingual documentation, insurance certificates and references. The tender package, ready before the tender asks. RFP responses ship with the full attachment set, insurance certificates, references, bilingual samples, WSIB clearance where applicable. Because public tenders score completeness before they score price.

Mandate fit

The 2023 rule, directly

Federal workplaces are squarely under the Labour Code requirement: free products and covered receptacles in every washroom, men's and universal included. Coverage means every toilet room regardless of the door marking, products free of charge, and a covered receptacle in each stall. And an inspector can ask for proof of continuous availability, not just installed hardware.

Recommended

Full compliance program

Washroom audit, free-vend conversion, per-washroom placement plan and standing route service. The turnkey program, sized to the building. The audit maps every toilet room including the single-occupancy and accessible rooms the floor plan forgot; conversion happens in one pass per building so no mixed-compliance period exists.

Reporting

Audit-ready, bilingual

Dated logs per washroom in both official languages, filed same-day. The record an internal audit or access-to-information request can rely on. Official-languages obligations extend to workplace documentation, so the bilingual record is not a courtesy. It is the format an internal audit expects to receive without asking.

What the paperwork has to show

Whoever asks. A labour affairs officer, an accreditation surveyor, a tenant auditing CAM charges. The question is the same: can you show the routine, not just the result. Four artifacts answer it. Which stalls carry a covered receptacle, including accessible and single-occupancy rooms. The named service schedule per washroom. Dated visit records with fill levels, so an isolated overflow reads as an exception rather than the pattern. And the provider's downstream handling statement for the collected waste. A contracted route generates all four automatically; informal top-up arrangements generate none of them, and they cannot be reconstructed after a complaint lands.

Setting up a program for government & institutional

Rollout starts with a walked washroom audit, because floor plans undercount: single-occupancy and accessible rooms get missed, and the count is the bill of materials. Dispensers and covered bins then go in during one pass per building, and the service schedule starts the same week. The gap between install and first restock is where programs stumble. Weeks three to eight are the measurement window: every visit logs consumption per washroom, and by week eight real usage replaces the launch estimate, usually tightening two or three washrooms and relaxing several others. Budget lands near $1–3 per employee per year in product, with dispensers a one-time item and service priced per bin per visit.
