Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council is seeking a supplier to provide cleaning services for its buildings in Milton Keynes. The requirement covers general building and office cleaning, including cleaning office equipment, and the supply of cleaning products. This is a single, council-wide service contract, rather than separate lots for different cleaning activities. The work is for a local authority and is suited to businesses able to organise and deliver cleaning across its property requirements. The council is the buyer and is managing the procurement itself.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 17 November 2026 at 23:59, and the submission deadline was 1 December 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030, with an option for the council to extend it by up to 24 months, to 31 August 2032. The estimated value is £4.5 million excluding VAT (£5.4 million including VAT). Quality and price each carry 50% of the evaluation weighting. The council planned to finalise the award by 30 April 2027. The contract is a single lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

This opportunity suits cleaning contractors able to provide building and office cleaning, including office-equipment cleaning, and manage the associated supply of cleaning products. Suppliers should be equipped to deliver a sustained service across a local authority’s buildings over several years, with the operational capacity to maintain consistent cleaning standards and manage staffing, scheduling and supplies. The evaluation gives equal weight to quality and price, so bidders need to demonstrate a credible service approach as well as competitive costs. The council identifies the contract as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller providers with the capacity to deliver the full, single-lot requirement. The tender description directs suppliers to the council’s e-tendering portal for the detailed requirements.
