Summary of the contracting process

Thrive Homes has completed the procurement process for cleaning and grounds maintenance services, managing schemes and estates within Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, and Oxfordshire. The contracts, identified as PR-10305-Thrive Homes Cleaning and Grounds Maintenance Contracts, were divided into two lots: cleaning services and grounds maintenance services. The procurement, following an open procedure, concluded with active status awards dated 23rd April 2025. Thrive Homes, a body governed by public law based in Hemel Hempstead, sought services under the main industry category of building services. The cleaning services award, valued at £2,000,000, was granted to New Green Services Ltd, while grounds maintenance services, valued at £1,500,000, were awarded to Cleanscapes Limited. These contracts are set initially for three years, with potential extensions up to five years, subject to annual review and inflation considerations.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in building, cleaning, and grounds maintenance services, particularly those located or operational in the UKJ region. Companies offering reactive and routine cleaning and maintenance solutions would find these contracts advantageous, given the wide range of tasks including elderly and supported housing, litter collection, grass reseeding, and winter preparations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a regional presence or expertise in comprehensive maintenance services would be well-suited for similar future opportunities, enhancing their competitive edge in public sector contracts. Additionally, scoring criteria that balance technical efficacy and cost offer diverse capabilities for service providers to present innovative and value-driven proposals.
