Summary of the contracting process

TransPennine Trains Limited has issued a contract extension under the tender title "VEAT Notice - Provision of Cleaning and Environmental Services", primarily aimed at maintaining essential cleaning services across its estate in the United Kingdom. This procurement process involves a 12-month contract extension with the incumbent supplier, Bidvest Noonan (UK) Limited, under a limited procurement method, without a prior call for competition. The award, valued at £5,207,974, was finalised on 15th June 2026 and serves to ensure service continuity while a new competitive procurement strategy is prepared, set to commence in July 2026. The process falls under the services category, specifically cleaning and sanitation services, and addresses the essential operational, health, and safety needs of the rail service infrastructure.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses within the cleaning and environmental services industry to prepare for future procurement activities with TransPennine Trains. Especially firms experienced in large-scale facility management and those capable of maintaining high service delivery standards are well-positioned to engage in the upcoming competitive bidding process. As the railway service requires both routine and reactive cleaning solutions, businesses equipped with innovative cleaning technologies and sustainable practices may find advantageous opportunities in the upcoming competitive procurement phases planned for the following year. This contract extension exemplifies a necessity-driven decision that facilitates operational continuity and provides a prelude to strategic procurement planning.

Procurement Information

The contracting entity is publishing this voluntary ex ante transparency notice in connection with a 12-month extension to an existing contract for the provision of cleaning services. The extension is provided for within the terms of the original contract and is necessary to ensure continuity of essential cleaning services across the estate. Any interruption to these services would present operational, health and safety risks and adversely impact service delivery. The value of the extension reflects increases in resource costs during the life of the contract, as well as minor adjustments to service coverage and performance requirements necessary to maintain service delivery. These changes do not alter the overall scope or nature of the contract. The extension is strictly time-limited and proportionate. TransPennine Trains has already indicated its intention to undertake a new competitive procurement, with a pipeline notice published and a new tender strategy in progress. This notice is published voluntarily in accordance with the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 to ensure transparency.
