Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Canals has recently completed a procurement process for providing professional cleaning services across its sites in Scotland, specifically targeting areas such as the Caledonian, Crinan, Forth & Clyde, and Union Canals. This tender was issued under an open procedure with a focus on delivering high-quality cleaning services, categorized under the CPV code 90910000. The procurement process has progressed through the tender and award stages, culminating in January 2026. The contracts were awarded to Pristine Clean Services Ltd for all geographical lots, demonstrating Scottish Canals' commitment to ensuring excellent site maintenance across the varied canal areas. The contract values amount to a total of £1,150,000, indicating significant investment in these services.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in cleaning services, particularly those capable of offering additional services like pest control and window cleaning, as outlined in the options available for some lots. SMEs, like Pristine Clean Services Ltd, have a viable chance to compete successfully, especially when capable of providing comprehensive service packages that align with Scottish Canals' award criteria, which prioritized technical response over price by a 70/30 margin. The geographical breakdown into lots allows for a targeted approach, enabling businesses to focus on specific areas, potentially facilitating growth through significant contract values and long-term service provision opportunities, given the potential for contract renewals.
