Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured high-level gutter-clearing services for periodic cleaning at several three- and four-storey residential buildings. The work covers gutters, fascia boards, soffits, open gullies or hoppers, and rainwater pipes. It is a building-exterior cleaning and drainage-maintenance service, with related roof maintenance and gully-cleaning activities. The buyer is Ipswich Borough Council, and the requirement concerns its residential building stock in Ipswich. The service is intended to keep high-level rainwater systems and associated external building elements clear and functioning properly. Suppliers operating in commercial window cleaning, high-level access cleaning, roof and rainwater maintenance, or gully cleaning would find the requirement aligned with their existing service capabilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 15 April 2026 at 11:00, with clarification questions due by 7 April 2026 at 14:00. The evaluation was split between quality and pricing. The estimated value was £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. Clearview Window Cleaning Services Ltd was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The active contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £67,540 excluding VAT, or £81,051 including VAT. Electronic submission was allowed and the competition was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates a recurring council requirement for specialist high-level cleaning across several three- and four-storey residential buildings. A credible future competitor would need to clean gutters, fascia boards, soffits, open gullies or hoppers, and rainwater pipes safely and consistently, including work at height on multi-storey properties. Relevant capability in commercial window cleaning, roof and rainwater maintenance, gully cleaning, or external building cleaning would be directly applicable. Suppliers should be able to organise periodic visits across a housing portfolio, manage access and site safety, and provide reliable evidence of quality alongside competitive pricing. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that a focused specialist business can meet this type of council requirement.
