Summary of the contracting process

The Chief Constable for Devon and Cornwall Police, along with several other police and fire authorities, is planning a procurement process for regional cleaning services. This process encompasses the Avon and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire Police Forces, as well as the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an open procedure method expected to commence. The contract, valued at £66 million gross, is slated to start on 1st September 2027 and conclude on 31st August 2034. Key communication updates are expected on 1st September 2026. The industry category falls under cleaning services, with the CPV code 90910000, and will cover regions in the UK with postal code origins from EX, BS, SN, GL, and DT.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, offering a comprehensive contract with a significant budget. Enterprises equipped to deliver both general and specialist cleaning services across multiple large-scale public sector facilities would be well-suited to compete. The scope for business growth is promising, given the duration and scale of the contract, endorsing the potential for stable and long-term engagements. Companies with a proven track record in servicing public authority buildings, particularly those familiar with the requirements of the police and rescue services, could find this a lucrative opportunity to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts.
