Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "House Clearance and Cleaning & Associated Services" contract, overseen by Fife Council, has reached the Award stage as of 7th July 2025. This procurement aimed at services in the accommodation cleaning sector, specifically targeting Fife, UKM72 region, and aimed to restore council housing, including hostels and Gypsy traveller sites, to a re-lettable standard. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, and two key lots were outlined: "Clean and Clear" and "Final Clean of Void Properties." As part of this framework agreement, the contract signing was concluded on 30th June 2025, with Orbis Protect Ltd and Perfect Clean Edinburgh Ltd being the awarded suppliers.

This tender represents substantial business opportunities for cleaning and maintenance service providers, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive clearance and cleaning services. Both large firms and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can engage, as evidenced by Perfect Clean Edinburgh Ltd's participation, an SME. Businesses offering quality services at competitive prices, given the award criteria of 30% for quality and 70% for price, would find themselves well-suited to similar tenders. Additionally, entities with capabilities in minor repairs, pest control, or associated services would find growth prospects by aligning with the Council's commitment to community benefits and environmental goals. Such collaborations not only foster business growth but also enhance local community development.

Tenderers should note that TUPE may or may not apply to some or all of the personnel currently assigned to undertakings that are currently performing part or all of the duties described in the Tender Specification. Tenderers should, prior to submitting their tender, take their own specific legal advice to ascertain whether TUPE could be held to apply to such undertakings and, if so, how that would impact on their tender. The Council is not able to advise tenderers upon the effect of the TUPE Regulations. If Tenderers consider TUPE does apply, Tenderers should contact the incumbent contractor/supplier to obtain the required specific and necessary information about the personnel currently employed in providing the services that are the subject of this tendering exercise.
