Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust is procuring community cleaning services for three locations. The requirement covers routine cleaning work to support the upkeep of community premises, with delivery associated with the Bury St Edmunds area and postcode IP33 2QZ. It is classified as cleaning services (CPV 90910000) and falls within the services category. The buyer is the Trust, based at Hardwick Lane, Bury St Edmunds, England. This opportunity is therefore relevant to commercial cleaning contractors able to organise and deliver services across multiple community sites, particularly businesses already operating in or able to cover the Bury St Edmunds area. The requirement is presented as a single community cleaning contract rather than separate lots.

The process reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline set for tender submissions was 15 September 2026 at 5:00pm UK time. The resulting contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, a three-year term. Its estimated total value is £160,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement is not divided into lots, so suppliers are being asked to offer for the community cleaning requirement as a whole. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses must submit their offer through the MultiQuote supplier platform using reference CA18359; registered suppliers can access the competition there, while other businesses must register before quoting.

This opportunity suits established commercial cleaning businesses with the operational capacity to service three community locations under one contract. Relevant suppliers are likely to have a reliable workforce, supervisors and scheduling systems capable of maintaining consistent standards across sites, together with equipment, cleaning materials and procedures appropriate for routine premises cleaning. Experience delivering cleaning services for multiple public, community or occupied buildings would help a supplier demonstrate practical competence, although the procurement data does not set out additional accreditation or qualification requirements. The stated SME suitability makes the contract potentially accessible to smaller cleaning firms, including those with a local operating base or a well-developed service area around Bury St Edmunds. The main commercial fit is therefore dependable multi-site delivery rather than specialist construction or supply work.
