Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barnet procured cleaning services for its operational vehicle fleet, plant and waste containers across the borough. Lot 1 covers routine, periodic and ad-hoc washing of light and heavy vehicles and equipment, including refuse collection vehicles, sweepers, gritters, buses and tippers, plus preparation for MOT and chassis inspections to DVSA standards. Work is delivered mainly at the Council’s wash bay facilities at Oakleigh Road Depot, with the supplier providing labour, cleaning materials, equipment and PPE. Lot 2 covers scheduled washing of town-centre food waste bins and ad-hoc cleaning of containers from 200 to 1,100 litres for general waste, recycling and food waste. This is a cleaning services requirement, including transport-equipment cleaning and bin cleaning, for Barnet and its residents.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure involving a framework agreement without reopening competition. Fleet Maintenance Services LTD was selected for both lots. The award date was 9 September 2026. Lot 1 was awarded at £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT), with a contract period from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2028; the scheduled signature date was 9 October 2026. Lot 2 was awarded at £87,360 excluding VAT (£104,832 including VAT), from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with signature scheduled for 30 September 2026. Lot 1 received five bids and Lot 2 received two. Evaluation for each lot was technical quality 50%, price 40% and social value 10%. The tender’s submission deadline was 7 May 2026, enquiries closed on 22 April 2026 and the award period ended on 15 June 2026.

This outcome identifies a recurring Barnet requirement for suppliers able to combine fleet and plant washing with waste-container cleaning, either across both service areas or within a specialist operation. Credible competitors would need capacity for light and heavy operational vehicles, refuse vehicles, sweepers, gritters, buses and tippers, together with container washing across multiple sizes and waste streams. They would also need to support scheduled and ad-hoc demand, prepare vehicles for MOT and chassis inspections to DVSA standards, and operate safely from a depot wash-bay environment. The requirement points to the importance of supplying labour, cleaning materials, equipment and PPE while meeting health and safety, environmental and COSHH obligations. Strong technical delivery, competitive pricing and demonstrable social value would all be important to future competition.
