Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales procured cleaning services for its headquarters at Llys Cadwyn in Pontypridd. The requirement covers accommodation, building and window cleaning, delivered against an output-based specification rather than a fixed task list. The supplier is expected to work to agreed standards and cleaning frequencies, with those arrangements discussed with the client during site visits. The buyer is Transport for Wales, a Welsh public authority. The service is categorised as cleaning and environmental services. This is a single-site head-office requirement, so it is most relevant to commercial cleaning businesses with the operational capacity to manage an occupied headquarters and maintain consistent service quality across routine cleaning activities, building areas and windows.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Transport for Wales used an above-threshold open procedure. Twelve bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% through quality questions and price at 40%. Albany Cleaning Solutions Ltd was awarded the contract on 11 June 2026 for £595,291 excluding VAT (£714,349 including VAT). The standstill period ended on 24 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 August 2029, with extensions of up to two further years, subject to the stated renewal provision. The earlier tender estimate was £443,495 excluding VAT (£532,194 including VAT), with submissions due by 22 December 2025 and award decisions due by 30 January 2026.

This award shows that Transport for Wales buys substantial, structured cleaning provision for its own headquarters and is willing to appoint an SME through an open competition. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate reliable delivery against an output specification, agreed cleaning standards and defined service frequencies, rather than simply offer low hourly rates. The evaluation gives quality greater importance than price, so bidders should be able to provide clear, evidenced answers to service-quality questions. Relevant operational strengths include managing a sizeable office-cleaning operation, coordinating site-based teams, maintaining consistent standards across building and window cleaning, and responding promptly to client requests. Ongoing performance is measured through cleaning audit scores, responsiveness, and compliance with health and safety requirements, so robust monitoring and reporting arrangements would be important.
