The North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (NEAS) recently concluded a procurement process for a cleaning service contract across their commercial premises. The project, classified under Health and social work services, involved cleaning services at approximately 60 sites in the North East of England. This open procedure, under the main procurement category of services, was awarded on 1st December 2025 to Churchill Contract Cleaning Services. Despite a section of the contract being cancelled, a key aspect of the tender focused on quality and price ratio, with quality having a 70% dominance in assessment criteria. The contract, valued at £4,000,000, started on the same day as the award, marking the completion of this procurement stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in professional cleaning services, particularly those with the capability to service a large number of sites concurrently.
