Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covers cleaning services for Peabody Trust’s community centres in London. The requirement is a total cleaning services solution delivered across the community-centre estate, rather than the supply of cleaning products or equipment alone. The procurement is categorised as cleaning services and is recorded as a services contract. Peabody Trust called off the requirement through the ESPO framework agreement for total cleaning services. BIP Solutions Limited is identified as the buyer for the process, while Churchill Contract Services Limited is identified as the supplier. Businesses relevant to this requirement are established commercial cleaning providers able to deliver consistent services across multiple community locations in London and manage the operational demands of a large public-sector cleaning service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under ESPO Framework Agreement 263_25, Total Cleaning Services Solution. The award was made to Churchill Contract Services Limited on 17 July 2026 for £5,700,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2032. The tender’s stated submission deadline was 17 July 2026. The recorded procurement method is “Other - Not Specified”, with the framework mini-competition providing the operative route. The award covers the overall community-centre cleaning requirement in London rather than separately identified lots. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement’s stated category is services, with cleaning services as its classification.

Although this contract has been awarded, it gives competing cleaning businesses a clear indication of Peabody’s requirement and the scale of supplier needed when a similar service is next considered. The successful provider is a large organisation, suggesting that credible competitors will need substantial operational capacity, reliable management arrangements and the ability to coordinate cleaning across community centres in London. Experience of delivering multi-site commercial or public-sector cleaning would help demonstrate readiness for the requirement. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant ESPO framework route and compete effectively in a mini-competition, with the systems and workforce needed to maintain consistent service standards across a long-term estate-wide contract. The buyer’s stated assessment that the requirement is unsuitable for SMEs indicates that scale and delivery capacity will be important.
