Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council procured specialist cleaning and sanitation services under its wider property and operational requirements. The work is categorised as cleaning and sanitation services (CPV 90900000) and is associated with the Council in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The requirement is for a service provider able to deliver the cleaning specification and comply with the Council’s contractual and tender instructions. The procurement covers services rather than goods or construction works, with delivery locations recorded across the United Kingdom and internationally. The named public-sector buyer is Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, whose address is in Welwyn Garden City. The appointed supplier is Woolmer Environmental Services Ltd, based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

This completed procurement used an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. Bids had to be submitted by 2 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC and were assessed against conditions of participation, mandatory and discretionary disqualification requirements, compliance with the contract conditions and tender instructions, and investigation of any bid considered abnormally low. The contract was awarded to Woolmer Environmental Services Ltd on 21 July 2026. The recorded awarded value is £0. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future specialist-cleaning requirements, the procurement shows demand for a comprehensive cleaning and sanitation service delivered to a formal specification across Council-related locations. A credible competitor would need operational capability in specialist cleaning, sufficient workforce and management capacity to deliver consistently over a multi-year public-sector contract, and robust systems for following detailed tender instructions and contractual conditions. It would also need to demonstrate that it meets participation requirements, avoids mandatory or discretionary disqualification grounds, and can provide a bid that is commercially credible if its price is scrutinised as potentially abnormally low. The appointed provider is an established environmental-services business, indicating the relevance of professional cleaning delivery and contract-compliance capability.
