Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wakefield and District Housing procured void property clearance and cleaning services across the Wakefield district and its wider operating area. The work concerns vacant homes: a contractor is required to clear and clean properties between tenancies so they can be prepared for use. This is a services contract, classified under cleaning services (CPV 90910000). The requirement was for one contractor to deliver the service across the stated area. The procurement was run by Wakefield and District Housing, with the work taking place in and around Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

The contract has been awarded to Orbis Protect Limited following a mini-competition under the EEM0071 Vacant Property Management Framework. The selective call-off procedure was evaluated through that competition. The award was made on 15 September 2026. The awarded value is £4,253,314.25. The contract runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2031, with an initial three-year term and two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum potential term of five years. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate lots are described; one contractor was sought for the requirement across the full operating area.

The award shows that Wakefield and District Housing buys a district-wide service combining clearance and cleaning of vacant properties, and that it used a framework mini-competition to select a single contractor. A credible competitor for this buyer’s next comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the operational capacity to cover the whole Wakefield district and wider operating area, and to manage clearance and cleaning reliably across a flow of void homes. The contract was awarded to an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement was deliverable by a smaller business. Suppliers with relevant vacant-property or housing-sector experience, effective mobilisation and the ability to coordinate clearance and cleaning as one service would be well placed to evidence their suitability.
