Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council has concluded a public procurement process for "Windows and Carpet Cleaning" services, aimed at servicing the majority of buildings under its ownership including administration, community centres, operational, and pavilion buildings. This procurement was conducted via an open procedure, categorised under services with a particular focus on cleaning and sanitation services. Located in the Eastern region of the UK, with a primary delivery address in Cambridge (UKH12), the process moved through its stages from tender to award, culminating in contract signing on the 13th and 14th of April 2026. The procurement comprised two lots, with the window cleaning lot awarded to Atlas FM Ltd, and the carpet cleaning lot awarded to ServiceMaster, emphasising opportunities for SMEs.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs, involved in cleaning services. Companies skilled in window and carpet cleaning, especially those able to deliver quality services cost-effectively, stand a prime chance to benefit from long-term growth due to the contract's renewable nature. The open procurement method indicates a competitive yet fair process ideal for businesses looking to expand their footprint within the public sector. With both awarded contracts active until April 2029, and potential extensions until April 2031, businesses have the opportunity to establish a lasting relationship with a reputable public authority, such as Cambridge City Council.
