The Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, located in Dartford, United Kingdom, has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of Soft Facilities Management Services. This encompasses a wide range of services including cleaning, waste management, security, catering, and several other essential support functions across its facilities. The contract, valued at £8.4 million gross with a net worth of £7 million, was awarded to ISS Mediclean Ltd, following a competitive flexible procedure that began on 29th June 2026. The initial contract term spans five years with potential extensions of up to four additional years, signifying substantial business continuity prospects for the winning supplier and their sub-contractors. The procurement, part of the services category, aligns with central government regulations and includes a standstill period ending on 8th July 2026, with the contract starting on 28th July 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in facilities management services, particularly those with robust capabilities in NHS-standard cleaning, logistics, and security operations. Given the competitive nature of the bidding process, only large-scale enterprises like ISS Mediclean Ltd and other notable competitors such as Compass Contract Services UK Ltd, Mitie FM Limited, and Serco Ltd were positioned to participate. The open procurement method and flexible procedural design accommodated a dynamic range of service responses, promoting innovation and efficient service delivery.
