UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Milton Keynes City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process seeking feedback from potential providers for a Declutter & Deep Clean Service for Vulnerable Adults. This service is targeted at individuals over 18 years within the Milton Keynes local authority who are eligible for support due to issues like ill-health or hoarding. Located in the region of UKJ12, the project is categorized under cleaning services, with the specific codes 90910000 and 90911100. The market engagement for this procurement process is ongoing, with the deadline for feedback set at 5pm on 7th November 2025. Interested parties can access and respond to the Market Engagement document via the council’s e-tendering portal.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and those driven by social value (VCSEs), specializing in cleaning services to engage and collaborate with a local government body. With a gross project value of £384,000, spanning a contract period from October 2026 to October 2029, and potential for renewal up to 2031, there is substantial potential for ongoing revenue and expansion. Firms with experience in cleaning, particularly in sensitive or challenging environments, will have the opportunity to diversify their project portfolio and contribute meaningful services to the community's vulnerable population.

Declutter and Deep Clean Service for Vulnerable People - Market Engagement

Notice Description

Milton Keynes City Council ('the Council') would like feedback from providers who may be interested in providing a Declutter & Deep Clean Service for Vulnerable Adults. The Declutter and Deep Clean Service is for vulnerable people aged over 18 years who have recourse to public funds, are resident within the Milton Keynes local authority boundary and have been assessed as eligible for support from the Council's Adult Social Care service or are known to the Community Support Team or Neighbourhood Services Teams within Social Care. People referred to the Declutter & Deep Clean Service are likely to be clients whose accommodation has become neglected due to ill-health or personal reasons and people who have a recognised habit of hoarding to the detriment of their health and wellbeing. Many clients are expected to be resident in Council properties or other social housing, but some people may be living in other tenures including owner occupation. We are keen to hear from providers on the questions given in the market engagement document. The responses to the questions will help the Council in developing the specification and the tender. Please respond to the questions within the Market Engagement document provided on the Council's e-tendering portal In-tend by latest 5pm on 7th November 2025 via In-Tend Correspondence section/market engagement stage.
