Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mercian Trust procured a total cleaning services solution covering general cleaning, window cleaning and external cleaning. The requirement falls within the cleaning services category (CPV 90910000) and is classed as a service opportunity. The buyer is The Mercian Trust, based on Sutton Road in Walsall, England. Delivery locations are described as including the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The broad geographical scope suggests that suppliers need to understand the locations and operating arrangements covered by the Trust’s estate, rather than providing a single-site cleaning service. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Solo Service Group by direct award. The award date was 29 July 2026, with an awarded value of £5,354,020.56 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying tender had the same estimated value and a submission deadline of 29 July 2026 at 01:00 BST. The award covers the complete general, window and external cleaning requirement rather than separately identified lots. The recorded tender status is complete, and the award status is active. The selected supplier is Solo Service Group, whose registered address is in Swansea.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates substantial demand from The Mercian Trust for a coordinated cleaning operation covering general, window and external services across a potentially wide estate. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to mobilise and manage multiple locations, maintain consistent service standards, and coordinate routine cleaning with specialist window and external cleaning work. It would also need robust scheduling, supervision, quality assurance, workforce management and reporting arrangements suitable for a large public-sector customer. The requirement’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller businesses may be credible where they can evidence sufficient capacity, geographic coverage and dependable delivery, either independently or through carefully managed delivery arrangements.
