Brief

The Council is seeking cleaning service providers for a new contract commencing October 2026. This is a full-service procurement covering both cleaning services and the supply of cleaning consumables for all Council buildings. The current arrangement ends in September 2026, and this tender will test the market and establish a modern, value-for-money contract. The procurement includes transfer of existing cleaning staff under TUPE regulations. By combining services and supplies into one tender, the Council aims to strengthen commercial control, improve compliance, and achieve better value. This re-procurement is driven by inflationary pressures and the need to maintain essential cleaning and hygiene services within available budgets. The successful contractor will be responsible for ensuring all Council buildings remain safe, hygienic, and well-maintained. This opportunity supports the Council Plan objectives of maintaining clean, safe, and sustainable environments and driving efficiency improvements across services.
