Summary of the contracting process

The East Sussex Fire Authority has conducted a procurement process for "Building and Office Cleaning" services, with a focus on accommodation, building, and window cleaning, classified under CPV code 90911000. The procurement was part of a mini-competition under Lot 1 of the ESPO263_25 Total Cleaning Services framework, specifically for pre-approved suppliers in the South East region. The contract covers cleaning services across 23 sites, including fire stations and the Service Training Centre at Maresfield, located in East Sussex, Brighton and Hove. The selective procurement method used a restricted procedure, with the tender having been awarded to TC Facilities Management Ltd for a contract value of £870,000, signed on 29th October 2025.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in building and office cleaning to engage with a regional authority. The focus on price as the award criteria prioritizes cost-competitive companies, particularly those already established and pre-approved within the South East region. Businesses that provide specialized cleaning services and can meet the regional requirements stand to benefit greatly from participating in such frameworks. Given the possibility of contract extensions, there is potential for long-term growth and stability for service providers meeting the standards and expectations of public service contracts.
