Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group is procuring commercial kitchen and ventilation cleaning services across its national housing and care portfolio in England. The requirement covers 204 commercial kitchens across around 211 sites, including care homes, extra-care locations, retirement villages and independent-living locations. Services include deep cleaning of commercial kitchens, grease-extract cleaning, grease-trap cleaning and kitchen-duct cleaning to TR19 compliance requirements. Most locations require an annual service, with some requiring cleaning twice a year. The work supports Anchor’s specialist housing and care services for people in later life. The procurement is classified as cleaning services. Suppliers would need to deliver consistently across a dispersed portfolio while coordinating activity around occupied and operational homes.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed, above-threshold open procedure. One lot was awarded to Indepth Hygiene Services Limited. The award date was 27 August 2026, at a gross value of £2,464,145.92. The initial contract period runs from 19 December 2026 to 19 December 2029, with options for two further years followed by one further year, giving a maximum end date of 19 December 2032. The original estimated value was £2,070,833, including a stated gross value of £1,900,000. Seven bids were received, including seven from SMEs. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Electronic submissions in English were allowed, and payment terms are 30 days.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Anchor Hanover Group for specialist cleaning across a large, geographically dispersed care and housing estate. A credible future supplier would need proven experience in commercial kitchen deep cleaning, grease-trap and grease-extract cleaning, and kitchen-duct cleaning that meets TR19 requirements. Operational planning is important because work may take place while homes remain occupied, so suppliers must minimise disruption, manage site access safely and coordinate with Anchor’s Property and Compliance teams where remedial works affect access. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, and the successful supplier is an SME. Strong mobilisation, reliable recurring servicing, compliance records and capacity to manage annual and twice-yearly visits would strengthen a competing offer when the requirement returns.
