West Lothian Council has completed the procurement process for a framework titled “WLC Property and Void Cleaning and Environmental Works Framework,” targeting cleaning and sanitation services within the Cleaning and Sanitation Services industry category. The procurement encompassed services for cleaning void and occupied properties in both domestic and non-domestic settings, specifically within the West Lothian area (region UKM78). This contract was conducted through an open procurement method and has reached the award phase, concluding on 5th August 2025, with a total contract value of GBP 1,200,000. Several contractors, including Orbis Protect Ltd, Perfect Clean Edinburgh Ltd, SPS Doorguard Limited, and The Furnishing Service, have been awarded under this framework agreement, which allows for dealing with unforeseen items upon consultation. This contract reached completion in August 2025 following the tender opening on 6th May 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services and environmental works, particularly those experienced in dealing with void property management and the safe removal of hazardous items such as needles and rubbish. Businesses offering high-quality service, health and safety adherence, and community benefits, such as those outlined in the award criteria, stand a competitive chance. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have been actively involved in the bidding process, reflecting a supportive environment for SMEs to secure a position in regional service frameworks. Moreover, the contract's extension and renewal provisions, along with a focus on community benefits, highlight ongoing opportunities for business growth in service sectors aligned with public safety, cleanliness, and community welfare.

Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts. In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period. It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer's financial status. In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee. Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.",
