Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by North Northamptonshire Council involved a direct award for cleaning services of multiple properties, titled "Building cleaning for multiple NNC properties". This contract, under the code BCICCS05, falls within the cleaning services industry category, specifically identified by the CPV code 90910000. The services will be carried out across various locations in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Following unsuccessful open market competition attempts, the award was made directly to the incumbent provider, INTER COUNTY SERVICE GROUP LTD, in accordance with Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement stage has concluded with the award finalised on 30th July 2025, and the contract will span from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2026, valued at £207,000.

This direct award presents a noteworthy opportunity for well-established cleaning service providers, particularly those interested in longer-term engagements with local councils. Although current procurement favours a large-scale incumbent, businesses in the cleaning sector can gain insights into future opportunities by preparing to engage in the comprehensive procurement process anticipated once this interim contract concludes. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) might find it challenging to compete directly due to the contract's scale and nature, yet understanding the procurement landscape can help tailor future bids for similar opportunities.
