Summary of the contracting process

Southport College procured building-cleaning services for Southport College and King George V College, with one supplier responsible for the service across both educational sites. The requirement sits within the services category and concerns routine cleaning of college buildings. The buyer is Southport College, based in Southport, England. The delivery information identifies the Southport site at Mornington Road, Southport PR9 0TT, and indicates coverage associated with the United Kingdom. This is a facilities-services opportunity for a commercial cleaning contractor able to manage delivery across two further-education college premises through a single operational arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids were due by 31 July 2026. Churchill Contract Services Ltd was awarded the contract on 20 August 2026 for £1,297,571.97 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender was intended for a single supplier, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, with the contract covering building-cleaning services for both Southport College and King George V College.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Southport College for a substantial, multi-year building-cleaning service delivered across two college sites through one supplier. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to mobilise and manage cleaning teams across both premises, maintain consistent service standards in an educational environment, and provide reliable contract management for a single, organisation-wide arrangement. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist cleaning businesses may be commercially relevant where they can demonstrate sufficient workforce, supervision and geographic coverage. Experience in managing institutional or multi-site cleaning contracts would help establish credibility when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
