Summary of the contracting process

The regional cleaning services contract involving several police forces across the UK, including Avon and Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, has recently undergone significant changes. The procurement, led by The Police and Crime Commissioner For Avon and Somerset Police, sought to provide both scheduled and ad-hoc cleaning services for these regions. The procurement followed an open procedure, with key deadlines including the conclusion of the tender period on 6th November 2025 and the ending of the enquiry period on 30th October 2025. The contract, valued at approximately £52.5 million, was initially awarded to Churchill Contract Services Limited. However, the most recent update indicates the cancellation of the tender as of 9th April 2026, meaning the contract will no longer proceed to the award stage.

While the cancellation of this tender removes immediate opportunities, such contracts typically attract large-scale service providers in the cleaning industry. Organisations capable of supplying scheduled and call-off cleaning services and related consumables would have been well-positioned to meet the demands of such a substantial contract. Future tenders of similar nature might present lucrative possibilities for businesses capable of delivering high-quality services combined with value for money, given the importance placed on aspects like price, social value, and overall quality in the award criteria. Therefore, cleaning companies, especially those with experience in servicing large public sector contracts, should remain alert for similar procurement opportunities within this sector.
