Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council procured responsive gutter-clearance services for blocks of low-rise flats of up to three storeys, together with ad hoc clearance of gutters on some runs of bungalows and houses. The requirement is a building-exterior cleaning service, covering planned work to blocks and additional requests when needed. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with the council’s Mid Devon area in Devon, and the council is the buying organisation. The scope is suited to businesses able to organise gutter clearance across different residential building types, including recurring work on low-rise flats and less predictable requests involving individual or grouped bungalows and houses. The relevant service classifications are exterior cleaning work for buildings (CPV 45452000) and cleaning services (CPV 90910000).

The procurement has concluded, with the tender marked complete and one active award. It used a below-threshold open competition. The tender’s estimated value was £50,000 net (£60,000 gross), while the contract awarded to MC EXETER LIMITED is worth £16,467 net (£19,760.40 gross). The award was made on 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 24 August 2027, with a maximum end date of 23 August 2029 through two possible 12-month renewals. There was one lot, open to small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation was split equally between quality and price, each weighted at 50%.

This award shows a recurring requirement for responsive gutter clearance across low-rise residential properties, with a mix of planned coverage and ad hoc housing requests. A credible future supplier would need practical experience in exterior building cleaning and the capability to work safely on flats up to three storeys, as well as bungalows and houses. The operating model must support requests that vary in timing and location, while maintaining consistent service quality across multiple property types. Businesses should be able to demonstrate a strong quality-led service alongside competitive pricing, since both factors carried equal importance in the evaluation. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that a smaller specialist provider with reliable local delivery capacity could compete effectively when this council’s need returns.
