Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of cleaning services for its offices in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Palma de Mallorca. This was an open, competitive flexible procedure under the ESP Cleaning Services (EU_278) project, with a contract awarded to Soldene S.A. on 1st September 2025. The contract spans two years, with the possibility of extending for up to three additional one-year periods, potentially running until 31st August 2030. The procurement falls under the services category, with a total contract value of €1,600,000. The British Council served as the buying organisation, coordinating this international procurement from its base in London, UK, focusing on cleaning services across Spanish locations.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for large-scale suppliers specialising in facility management and cleaning services, particularly those with an interest in expanding or consolidating their presence in Spain. The contract's scope, covering multiple key cities, provides substantial growth potential by associating with a renowned public authority such as the British Council. Companies with the capability to deliver consistent quality across diverse locations, meeting the outlined service metrics, are ideally placed to vie for similar future tenders. Additionally, the use of a competitive procedure underscores the benefits of well-structured bids that comprehensively address pricing and methodological requirements.
