Summary of the contracting process

South Norfolk Council has concluded its procurement process for cleaning services, encompassing residential and office assets in the South Norfolk and Broadland District Council regions of Norfolk. This tender was initiated on 20th February 2025, and the award decision was announced on 25th September 2025. The process followed an open procedure under the legal framework set by the European Union, and involved two lots: Office Cleaning and Temporary Accommodation Cleaning. Ultimately, contracts were awarded for both lots to Chase Services Group for office cleaning and Mr Bright's Ltd for accommodation cleaning, with contracts signed on 1st September 2025. The total contract value stands at £246,000, spanning a service period until 31st August 2028. Both contracts are active, underscoring the Council's focus on consolidating cleaning contracts to enhance quality, resilience, and cost-effectiveness in their services across the UKH17 region.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those offering organisational efficiency and cost-effective solutions. With small and medium companies like Chase Services Group and Mr Bright's Ltd successfully securing contracts, it illustrates potential growth prospects for SMEs in this sector. Companies with expertise in managing large-scale cleaning operations or those looking to expand their territorial footprint within regional government contracts would find this tender particularly attractive. Emphasising price within their award criteria, it highlights opportunities for competitive pricing strategies to succeed. The use of electronic bidding and the inclusive open procurement method further enable broad participation, fostering equality and accessibility for interested suppliers.
