Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a Bus Shelter Cleaning Framework, classified under the CPV code for cleaning services of transport equipment. This initiative is a multi-supplier framework for cleaning 561 bus shelters located across nine ward areas within West Lothian, an area identified as UKM78. The procurement involves periodic cleaning to improve public transport structures and services. A tender briefing session for interested suppliers will be held on 25th May 2026 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm, and suppliers can choose to attend in person or via Teams. Additionally, suppliers should watch for future communications, projected around 22nd June 2026.

Businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those with experience in external cleaning of transport equipment and infrastructure, stand to benefit from this opportunity. The framework, with an estimated value of GBP 200,000, invites companies that can provide reliable and efficient cleaning solutions for public sector clients. SMEs and larger enterprises alike, especially those capable of managing recurring contracts and demonstrating the capacity for flexible service delivery, are well-suited to compete. Opportunities for growth include establishing long-term relationships with a regional authority and expanding service portfolios to align with public sector requirements.
