Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Boroughwide Housing Limited is procuring window-cleaning services for its housing and operational estate. The scope covers sheltered housing schemes, including one scheme consisting of a single bungalow, one extra-care scheme, office campuses and communal blocks with windows. The requirement is a recurring cleaning and maintenance service for windows across these properties, rather than a one-off building-cleaning project. The work is associated with Rochdale Boroughwide Housing’s estate in the Rochdale area. It is classified as accommodation, building and window-cleaning services, with the awarded service more specifically classified as window-cleaning services. This opportunity will suit specialist commercial window-cleaning contractors able to organise services across residential, extra-care and office locations, including communal areas and a dispersed housing portfolio.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. It used an open procedure and was divided into one lot. Vision Cleaning Services Ltd was selected, with an awarded gross value of £348,930. The award date is 8 September 2026, with a standstill period ending on 17 September 2026. The awarded contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions available and a maximum end date of 30 September 2031. The tender attracted 11 bids, of which six reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The original estimated gross lot value was £360,000.

This award demonstrates established demand from a housing provider for a structured window-cleaning service spanning sheltered housing, extra care, offices and communal residential blocks. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to cover multiple property types and locations consistently, with reliable scheduling, trained window-cleaning staff and suitable equipment for communal and occupied housing environments. The winning supplier is an SME, while all six final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist small or medium-sized contractor rather than only a national facilities-management group. Businesses considering this buyer should be able to evidence dependable service quality as well as competitive pricing, since quality carried substantial weight in evaluation. Experience managing a broad housing portfolio and maintaining safe, repeatable standards would strengthen a future response.
