UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the cleaning of silicone render on low and medium-rise buildings, alongside abseil cleaning for high-rise properties. The tender falls under the services category and is set to take place in the region of UKH21, United Kingdom. Interested parties are invited to a "Meet The Buyer" online event via MS Teams on 6th November 2025. Key milestones include registering interest for this engagement by 29th October 2025. The contract, valued at £384,000 gross, is planned to commence on 2nd January 2026 and conclude by 1st January 2030.

This tender offers notable business growth opportunities for qualified cleaning service providers, especially those adept at rendered wall maintenance and high-rise abseil cleaning. Companies specialising in pest-control services may also find opportunities given the requirements for installing pigeon spikes. The procurement is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as specified in the lot's suitability criteria. The contract necessitates a high standard of execution to ensure cleanliness, safety, and compliance. Participating in this project could enhance a business's profile and lead to long-term collaboration opportunities with Luton Council.
