Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group bought regional window-cleaning services for its housing and care properties across Yorkshire, the North West and the North East. The requirement covers approximately 300 locations, predominantly mid- and high-rise housing, as well as some care homes. Cleaning visits are required every four, six or eight weeks, according to location; gutter cleaning may be added where a site requires it. Anchor Hanover provides specialist housing and care for older people and manages homes for rent and sale. The work is a recurring, geographically dispersed cleaning service rather than a single-site contract, with delivery across the three northern English regions.

The procurement is complete: Anlaby Office Cleaning Services Ltd was selected and the contract was signed on 25 March 2026. The award was made on 26 January 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with two possible one-year extensions. The contract value is £1,920,094 gross; the award value was £1,920,093.65 gross. This was a single-lot, above-threshold open procedure. The submission deadline was 10 November 2025, and the planned award decision deadline was 15 December 2025. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and cost at 40%. Seven bids reached the final stage. The contract requires site managers to be notified by telephone or email 48 hours before each scheduled visit.

This award shows that Anchor Hanover buys recurring window cleaning across a large, dispersed portfolio of housing and care locations in Yorkshire, the North West and the North East. A credible future competitor would need to organise reliable teams and travel across multiple sites, including mid- and high-rise buildings, and deliver visits at different four-, six- and eight-week frequencies. The service may also include gutter cleaning when requested at particular locations. The awarded supplier is expected to give onsite managers 48 hours’ notice by telephone or email before scheduled visits, so dependable scheduling and clear customer communication are important capabilities. The requirement attracted seven final-stage bids, including bids from SMEs, indicating that smaller firms also competed. TUPE may apply to the service, so bidders should be prepared to manage any relevant staff transfer.
