Summary of the contracting process

The Ashford Borough Council has cancelled the tender for "Cleaning of Internal and External Areas and Associated Services," aimed at providing cleaning services for council-owned properties. The procurement process was in the tender stage and utilised an open procedure. The criteria for awarding the contract included both quality (30%) and price (70%).
