Summary of the contracting process

Teignbridge District Council procured cleaning services for its temporary accommodation properties. The scope covers three types of work: void cleans between occupants, biohazard cleans, and routine cleaning. The buyer is based in Newton Abbot, and delivery is for accommodation in the Teignbridge area. This is a public-sector facilities and specialist cleaning requirement, rather than construction, supply of equipment or general property management. The procurement is classified as cleaning services (CPV 90910000). The requirement was arranged as a single service lot and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses operating in accommodation cleaning, void clearance, infection or biohazard response, and regular domestic or commercial cleaning would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Teignbridge District Council awarded the contract to TORBAY CLEANING CO LTD on 10 September 2026. The award is £88,000 excluding VAT, or £105,600 including VAT; the original tender record gave a £1 estimate. The awarded contract runs from 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2028, with renewal described as two years plus one and a maximum end date of 1 October 2029. The tender closed on 5 June 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 27 May 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation was split equally between price and quality. Nineteen bids were received, with 13 reaching the final stage, including 12 from SMEs and one from a VCSE.

This award demonstrates an established council requirement for a supplier able to clean temporary accommodation to different levels of complexity. A credible competitor would need practical capability in void cleaning, routine accommodation cleaning and biohazard response, with the staffing, equipment, procedures and resilience to move between properties as required. The equal weighting for price and quality indicates that a low-cost offer alone would not be sufficient: suppliers should be able to evidence reliable delivery, safe working methods, quality control and a clear service approach. The participation profile, including strong SME representation at the final stage, shows that the requirement is accessible to specialist smaller cleaning businesses. Firms serving Teignbridge and nearby areas, or able to provide responsive local coverage, would be well placed when assessing this buyer’s future requirement.
