Summary of the contracting process

The mhs homes group, a public authority within the sub-central government sector, initiated a tender process titled "Window Cleaning," which reached the completion stage but was later cancelled. This procurement targeted cleaning services across the mhs homes estate in Chatham, United Kingdom, under the industry category of accommodation and building cleaning services. The tender, identified by the reference TMHS274, had a tender period closing on 24 November 2025, with the process conducted through an open procedure on the In-Tend e-tendering system. Despite its cancellation on 27 November 2025, the decision to terminate was made to amend the Conditions of Participation, with re-issuance planned under a new reference TMHS274a.

This tender presented substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in window cleaning, offering routine and specialist cleaning services covering various surfaces. Businesses with capabilities in handling high-level and complex cleaning engagements, aimed at both ground-level and high-level windows, were particularly suited for this contract with an estimated gross value of £286,527.60. The re-tendering of this contract invites competitive and innovative solutions, encouraging increased participation from firms equipped to meet any revised requirements. Those capable of offering high-quality services alongside competitive pricing, scored at 60% for quality and 40% for price, stand to benefit significantly in this marketplace.
