This initiative is part of a broader, multi-year regeneration programme focusing on service provision optimisation. The council is seeking indicative annual costings to inform future procurement planning. Although no formal tender has commenced, the council invites businesses to submit their cost estimates by the deadline of 12:00 pm, Friday, 24th October 2025. The procurement category falls under services with specific reference to cleaning, placing it within the industry category 'Cleaning Services,' aligned with Code 90910000 under CPV classifications. The indicative timeline for contract execution spans from 2028 to 2033.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, given the project's scope and the council's openness to small and social enterprises.
