Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council has initiated an open procurement process for a "Corporate Cleaning Contract 2026," seeking a single supplier to provide comprehensive cleaning services across its facilities. The contract encompasses routine cleaning, touch-point sanitisation, periodic deep cleans, and optional specialist cleans. This procurement, valued at £5,750,000, is above the procurement threshold and focuses on maintaining high hygiene standards. The tender is in the 'active' stage, with the submission deadline set for 29th January 2026. The cleaning services fall under the "Cleaning and sanitation services" category and will be executed in the region UKK23, United Kingdom. The contract is scheduled to start on 1st August 2026 and can be extended up to July 2030, subject to performance.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialised in cleaning and sanitation services, especially those capable of servicing large-scale contracts. Businesses with a minimum annual turnover of £2,400,000 and a strong track record in maintaining quality and social value are particularly well-suited to compete. The open procedure allows both SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate, promoting diverse competition and fostering growth opportunities for businesses intending to expand their operations into the public sector domain. This procurement also encourages the development of long-term customer relationships with the potential for contract extensions based on performance.
