Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured window-cleaning services across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. The requirement covers cleaning windows for Southern Housing’s properties across these areas. It is a services contract focused on routine specialist cleaning rather than the supply of equipment or construction work. The buyer is Southern Housing, based in London. The geographical spread means the requirement is relevant to window-cleaning businesses able to organise delivery across multiple English regions, either directly through their own teams or through an established operational network. The opportunity is particularly aligned with firms experienced in managing housing-sector cleaning services over a broad, multi-region estate.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 2 July 2026 to Mark Durant Cleaning LLP. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2031. Its awarded value is £147,865. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 12:00. Southern Housing used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone competition. The contract was awarded to a single supplier, and the award is active. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information identifies window-cleaning services as the procurement category and covers delivery across five English regions.

This award demonstrates established demand from Southern Housing for window-cleaning services delivered across a wide geographic footprint and over a long operating period. A credible future supplier would need reliable window-cleaning capability, sufficient staffing and equipment to cover housing properties across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West, and the operational controls to maintain consistent service standards across several regions. Experience of working for housing providers or managing dispersed property portfolios would strengthen a competitor’s position. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller specialist with effective regional coverage, robust scheduling, health and safety procedures and dependable performance management could be well placed to compete through the buyer’s dynamic purchasing system.
