Summary of the contracting process

The Cleveland Fire Authority has completed a procurement process for "Cleaning Services" under the industry category of services. This procurement was conducted through a limited procedure, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The legal basis for this tender was Directive 2014/24/EU, focusing on the provision of cleaning services within the Cleveland area, North East England (UKC11 region). The contract was directly awarded to MITIE Cleaning and Environmental, reflecting the procurement stage labelled as "Award". The contract value was £220,000 and was signed on 1st April 2026. Notably, this procurement was justified by the need for a compliant direct award through the ESPO 263 Total Cleaning Solutions framework due to technical reasons limiting competition.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in cleaning services, particularly those with the ability to deliver high-quality, economically efficient solutions on a large scale. Given the direct award method, the opportunity particularly suits incumbent suppliers like MITIE Cleaning and Environmental, who benefit from existing contractual relationships and frameworks such as ESPO. Businesses aiming for growth in this sector may benefit from establishing a strong local presence and a track record of technical competency and cost efficiency to appeal to similar procurement decisions in the future. The involvement of public sector bodies like Cleveland Fire Authority underscores the importance of meeting the specific regulatory and service requirements demanded by such buyers.
