Summary of the contracting process

Eastlight Community Homes procured reactive void clearance and property cleaning services for its housing properties. The requirement covers clearing empty properties, standard cleaning, environmental cleaning and garden clearance, with properties prepared for occupation or further use to the required standard. The contractor must manage both clearance and cleaning work, including the removal of waste and the condition of gardens where required. This is primarily a building-cleaning service, with associated works. Delivery is across Eastlight Community Homes’ operating area. The requirement is intended for an experienced and competent contractor able to respond to changing property-level needs, work to strict service timescales and meet the buyer’s legal, safety and asbestos-control obligations.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected: Bidvest Noonan (UK) Ltd. The award date was 31 July 2026, with a standstill period ending on 17 August 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 30 September 2031, subject to satisfactory performance. The awarded value is £3,750,000 excluding VAT (£4,500,000 including VAT). It was a single-lot, above-threshold open competitive flexible procedure. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Seven bids reached the final stage, including four from SMEs. The contract award remained pending at publication.

This requirement indicates sustained demand from Eastlight Community Homes for responsive void preparation across clearance, cleaning, environmental cleaning and garden services. A credible future competitor would need proven experience delivering reactive housing-property services, coordinating different workstreams and preparing homes to a consistent handover standard. Operational capacity is important: the service requires clearance within 72 hours and cleaning within 48 hours, so suppliers need reliable mobilisation, scheduling, labour and waste-management arrangements. Strong compliance systems will also matter, particularly for the Building Safety Act 2022, health and safety legislation and asbestos protocols. The competition attracted seven final-stage bids, four from SMEs, showing that the requirement can be contested by established smaller providers as well as larger facilities-management contractors.
