Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured corporate cleaning services across Swansea through a five-lot framework. The scope covers upholstery and carpet cleaning, mainly in libraries and other council premises; window cleaning at residential and day-care services and other corporate buildings; daily and deep cleaning at Swansea Bus Station; quarterly internal and external window, door and ledge cleaning at the station; and seasonal cleaning of nine public conveniences. The services are classified as cleaning services and accommodation, building and window cleaning services. The framework allows the council to vary premises, cleaning frequencies and service areas, and to request planned, reactive, ad-hoc or incident-based work. It is relevant to specialist commercial cleaning, soft-furnishing, glazing, public-facility and responsive cleaning providers operating in Swansea.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under an open procedure as a closed framework using mini-competitions, with electronic submissions allowed in Welsh or English. Awards were made on 5 June 2026 for upholstery and carpet cleaning, valued at £120,000 gross, to Primeguard Carpet Care, Ultimate Cleaning & Maintenance Group, Bell Cleaning Services, 1st Choice Pro Cleaning Services and Cleaning Solutions; and on 23 June 2026 for corporate window cleaning, valued at £48,000 gross, to Clearly Better Cleaning, Adapt Business Services, OS1, JCH Exterior Cleaning Specialists and APT ICC. APT ICC was awarded Swansea Bus Station cleaning on 23 June 2026 for £356,236.80 gross. CDC Specialists was awarded station window cleaning on 21 May 2026 for £21,504 gross. Each awarded contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027, with extensions available to 12 July 2030. Lot 5 reached final status on 22 June 2026. Evaluation weighted cost at 70% and method-statement quality at 30%; economic and technical selection criteria also applied.

This award shows sustained council demand for several distinct cleaning capabilities in Swansea, with opportunities suited to small and medium-sized enterprises. Credible competitors would need operational capacity for scheduled and reactive delivery across multiple public buildings, dependable staffing and supervision, and the ability to manage changing premises, frequencies and service requirements. Relevant specialisms include upholstery and carpet restoration, internal and external window cleaning, high-frequency public convenience cleaning, daily and periodic deep cleaning, and work in a busy bus-station environment. Suppliers should be able to produce clear method statements and compete strongly on cost, since price carried most of the evaluation weighting while service quality remained material. The framework’s mini-competition model also favours businesses able to respond promptly to individual call-offs and demonstrate consistent performance across Swansea.
