Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council, acting as the buyer, has completed the procurement process for building cleaning services at the Robinson Way depot in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This procurement, classified under the CPV code 90910000 for cleaning services, involved a direct award to Poplar Cleaning Services Ltd after two unsuccessful attempts at open market competition. The contract, valued at £29,000 and covering a 12-month period starting from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026, follows Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This allows time to plan a comprehensive procurement process for a longer-term contract.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large cleaning service providers familiar with public procurement regulations and able to fulfil the requirements efficiently. Although the direct award was made to the incumbent provider, it highlights potential demand for similar services in upcoming competitive tenders. Businesses specialising in cleaning services within the East Midlands region may find future opportunities to compete for long-term contracts in this category, provided they stay informed about upcoming tenders. Such opportunities would be ideal for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector.
