Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the building cleaning services at the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) offices in Midhurst, West Sussex, has been completed as of March 20, 2026. The procurement involved an open competition for office cleaning services under the service category, managed by this authority, a sub-central government public authority. The contract, valued at £208,752 GBP, was awarded to AAFD SERVICES LTD and is set to commence on April 14, 2026, and end on April 13, 2029, with a potential renewal for another year. This procurement was intended to cover cleaning for the main offices, meeting rooms, and visitor centre, facilitating a three-year operating period with key procurement stages involving planning and tendering before finally reaching the award stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in office cleaning services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like AAFD SERVICES LTD, the successful bidder. As the procurement was managed through an open competition, it allowed for fair and transparent participation, inviting various suppliers to engage in the process. Firms focusing on high-quality cleaning services, with efficient project resourcing and competitive pricing, stand to grow their business by securing such contracts. The ability to provide comprehensive and sustainable cleaning solutions would be advantageous for businesses looking to capitalize on public sector contracts similar to those offered by the SDNPA.
