Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council procured corporate cleaning services for its council-owned buildings and other assets. The requirement covers accommodation, office and office-equipment cleaning, alongside broader cleaning and environmental services. The listed sites are Lot 1, the Civic Centre; Lot 3, other sites including waste and recycling, estates and cultural facilities; and Lot 4, leisure sites. Lot 2 is marked as not used. The work is categorised as services and is delivered in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at the Civic Centre in Exeter. This is a multi-site facilities cleaning requirement rather than a single-building contract, covering a varied council estate and public-facing leisure facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. Bids were due by 13 October 2025 at 12:00. The award was made on 20 April 2026 to ARCHWAY FACILITIES LTD and GLEN GROUP LTD, jointly awarded £2,149,394.27. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. The published requirement is divided across the Civic Centre, other council sites and leisure sites, with Lot 2 not used. Exeter City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and both named suppliers are recorded as suppliers under the award.

This requirement is relevant to cleaning and facilities-management businesses able to service a varied council estate, including offices, civic buildings, waste and recycling facilities, estates, cultural venues and leisure sites. The successful supplier profile shows that both SME and larger organisations can be credible competitors for this type of work, potentially through their own operational capacity or a coordinated delivery model. A future competitor would need dependable multi-site mobilisation, trained cleaning teams, robust scheduling and supervision, and the ability to maintain consistent standards across office, public-facing and operational environments. Experience managing council or similarly complex estates would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where services must be coordinated across different building uses and customer groups.
