Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has completed a direct award contract for the building cleaning services at the Corby Innovation Hub under the title "Building cleaning of CIC North Northants". Due to two unsuccessful open market attempts, the contract was awarded to the incumbent, ABM Facilities Services UK Ltd, in line with Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This award finalised on 30th July 2025, covering a service period from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2026. The procurement belongs to the cleaning services category with a contract value of £57,000, located in the East Midlands, UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the cleaning industry, particularly those capable of supporting large-scale operations. While this specific contract utilised a direct award process due to extraordinary circumstances, businesses looking to expand should focus on preparing for the anticipated comprehensive procurement process that North Northamptonshire Council plans to implement for subsequent longer-term contracts. Companies specialising in facilities services with the capacity for competitive bids should consider positioning themselves for future opportunities within this region.
