UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley procured cleaning and full-time and relief caretaking services for a specific, non-exhaustive list of its operational buildings. The requirement is classified as cleaning services and is delivered within the London Borough of Bromley area. The work covers both routine cleaning and caretaking provision, including relief cover, across council premises. The council is the buying organisation and the procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It will suit facilities management, commercial cleaning and caretaking providers able to manage services across multiple public-sector operational buildings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. One lot was evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. The tender closed on 1 May 2025, after enquiries closed on 25 April 2025; the award period ended on 4 July 2025. L BURRIDGE LTD was awarded the contract on 1 August 2025 at £532,912 excluding VAT, or £639,494.40 including VAT. The awarded period runs from 30 September 2025 to 30 September 2029, while the active contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2029. The contract was signed on 11 September 2025. A proposed novation dated 29 July 2026 would add SBFM LIMITED and remove L BURRIDGE LTD following corporate restructuring.

This award demonstrates established demand from Bromley for a combined cleaning and caretaking service across operational buildings, rather than a standalone cleaning requirement. A credible competitor would need to coordinate regular scheduled attendance, provide full-time and relief caretaking cover, and maintain reliable service delivery across multiple council sites. The contract’s agreed performance measures focus on services being attended within timescale, prompt attendance after missed scheduled services, and satisfaction among council staff and building users. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence dependable mobilisation, workforce planning, responsive cover arrangements, quality control and consistent customer-service reporting. The competition attracted 21 bids, with 11 reaching the final stage, including 11 SME bids, indicating a competitive market and a realistic route for capable smaller providers.
