Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (CBC), a regional authority in the UK, has completed the award stage of its open procurement process for the provision of cleaning services to educational and other establishments across the region. The project, titled "Cleaning of Educational and Other Establishments within Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC - Framework," falls under the services category and is classified under the CPV code 90910000 for cleaning services. The contract is set to commence on 7th October 2025 and has a potential duration of up to six years, concluding by 6th October 2031. This framework agreement, which was awarded on 8th August 2025, has a significant value of £16,800,000 and is open to four suppliers, all of whom are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The awarded suppliers include Solo Service Group Limited, Mrs Bucket Cleaning Services Limited, Adapt Business Services Limited, and Betterclean Services Swansea.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for SMEs, especially those specialising in cleaning services, to expand their market presence within the public sector. The inclusion of social value criteria in the evaluation process indicates a focus on delivering community and economic benefits, aligning with the authority's broader social objectives. Businesses that can demonstrate local presence, competitive pricing, quality services, and social value contributions are well-positioned to leverage such frameworks. Given the contract's extended potential duration and the Council's provision for a flexible scope to cover 79 establishments, suppliers can anticipate stable, long-term business growth and the possibility to establish a solid track record with public sector contracts.
