Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "Building cleaning for multiple NNC properties" was conducted by North Northamptonshire Council. This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically for cleaning services, and pertains to locations in North Northants, UK. Initially initiated as a tender, the procurement stage has reached the "Award" phase. A direct award was made in accordance with regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 after two unsuccessful attempts at open market competition. The contract, awarded to Solo Service Group Ltd on 30th July 2025, is for a 12-month period, providing cleaning services across 29 properties including adult services, children's trust properties, libraries, and more, valued at £350,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in cleaning services, especially those capable of offering comprehensive solutions for large property portfolios. Companies which provide specialised and efficient cleaning capabilities, particularly those based in or willing to operate in the North Northamptonshire region, could benefit from future collaborations as the council plans to establish long-term contracts. Although the direct award was made without prior publication due to specific circumstances, it emphasises the necessity for suitable service providers who can meet complex cleaning requirements and stand ready for potential competitive procurement opportunities in the future.
