Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured specialist window-cleaning services for its housing stock in London. The requirement covers external window cleaning at buildings up to and over 75 feet, together with internal window cleaning in high-rise buildings. It is a services contract within the broader cleaning and sanitation sector (CPV 90900000). The work is intended to maintain residential high-rise properties and their windows, requiring a supplier able to operate safely and effectively at height and within occupied or managed housing environments. Southern Housing is the buying organisation, based in London. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, making it relevant to specialist window-cleaning contractors and housing-services providers with the necessary operational capability.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure within a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026, and the award was made on that date. Mark Durant Cleaning LLP was selected as the supplier. The awarded contract value is £236,584. The contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2034. The procurement’s estimated value and the awarded value are both recorded as £236,584. The requirement was treated as a single lot covering the London window-cleaning service. The process therefore provides a clear example of Southern Housing buying a defined specialist service through its restricted DPS route, with an eight-year delivery period.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates sustained demand from Southern Housing for specialist high-rise window cleaning in London. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience delivering both external and internal window cleaning, including work on buildings up to and over 75 feet. It would also need the equipment, trained staff, supervision and safe systems of work required for access and operations at height, alongside the capacity to provide consistent service across housing properties over a long-term arrangement. The route to market is significant: this requirement was run through a selective restricted procedure within a dynamic purchasing system. Specialist SMEs and VCSEs were identified as suitable organisation types.
