Summary of the contracting process

The General Dental Council (GDC) procured office cleaning services for its London and Birmingham offices. The requirement covers routine, periodic and ad hoc cleaning across office accommodation, meeting and conference facilities, welfare and kitchen areas, washrooms, circulation spaces and other communal areas. The purpose is to maintain high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and presentation, supporting a safe, healthy and professional environment for employees, visitors and contractors and helping meet relevant health and safety requirements. This is a facilities management and commercial cleaning opportunity, including office equipment cleaning. Delivery is required in Paddington, London, and at the GDC’s Birmingham premises. Both lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, with each lot covering one office location.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure. It was divided into two lots, and suppliers could bid for or win a maximum of one lot. Each lot was evaluated on service delivery approach (40%), contract management (10%) and pricing (50%). The London lot was awarded to CHASE SERVICES GROUP LTD on 17 July 2026. Its contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2028, with extensions possible up to 6 September 2030. The awarded contract value is £166,984 excluding VAT (£200,380 including VAT). The London lot’s estimated value was £130,000 excluding VAT (£156,000 including VAT). The Birmingham lot had an estimated value of £160,000 excluding VAT (£192,000 including VAT), with a contract period from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2028 and possible extension to 30 August 2030.

This procurement shows that the GDC buys multi-site office cleaning through separate location-based lots and that an SME can be suitable for the requirement. A credible future supplier would need to deliver routine, periodic and responsive cleaning across offices, meeting and conference rooms, welfare and kitchen areas, washrooms, circulation routes and communal spaces. It would need a demonstrable approach to maintaining cleanliness, hygiene, presentation and health and safety standards in a professional workplace. Strong contract management is important, alongside the ability to monitor cleaning quality, missed tasks, rectification times, complaints, attendance and service coverage. Suppliers competing for similar GDC work should be able to manage delivery at the relevant London or Birmingham premises and present a price that supports a competitive overall offer.
