Summary of the contracting process

BHCC City Clean, the buyer within Brighton and Hove City Council, procured comprehensive hard surfaces grounds maintenance services. The requirement covers professional maintenance of hard-surfaced outdoor areas, including street-cleaning and sweeping activities. The service is intended to keep relevant public spaces and surfaces clean and properly maintained through a defined, priced service proposition. Delivery is centred on Brighton, with the procurement covering work in the United Kingdom. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The requirement is relevant to contractors providing operational grounds maintenance, hard-surface cleaning, street sweeping and related public-realm cleaning services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a tender process. Anti Graffiti Systems Ltd was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 18 May 2026 for £634,390, inclusive of the stated contract value and in GBP. The contract runs from 4 May 2026 to 3 May 2029. The tender submission deadline was 23 April 2026 at 12:00. The procurement used an open tender route, with the method recorded as “Other”. The opportunity was assessed on suppliers’ professional, properly defined and priced propositions for comprehensive hard surfaces grounds maintenance services. It was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The award demonstrates established public-sector demand in Brighton for managed hard-surface cleaning and grounds maintenance, including street-cleaning and sweeping. A future competitor would need to show reliable operational delivery across public-realm sites, with the workforce, equipment and management controls to maintain hard surfaces consistently. Credibility would also depend on producing a clear service specification and a robust, properly costed pricing model rather than offering ad hoc cleaning. Experience of delivering comprehensive maintenance services for a council or comparable public-sector buyer would help demonstrate understanding of service standards, scheduling, site coverage, reporting and performance management. Specialist capability in graffiti-related cleaning may also be relevant, given the selected supplier’s business focus and the nature of the requirement.
