Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has initiated an open tender process for cleaning services at the Central Library for 2026. The procurement falls under the services industry, specifically focusing on cleaning and sanitation, with the Contracting Authority operating under sub-central government jurisdiction. The tender process commenced on 19th June 2026, with submissions due by 23rd July 2026. The awarded contract will start on 22nd October 2026 and run until 21st October 2028, with a possible extension for an additional two years. Interested parties can register via the CSW-JETS e-tendering portal to access the tender documents and submit their bids electronically, with all communications to be conducted in English.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in cleaning and sanitation services, particularly those with experience in servicing public facilities. Given the value of the contract, estimated at £320,000 net, companies that can balance price competitiveness with high quality will stand out in the selection process, which weighs 80% on price and 20% on quality. The contract’s potential two-year extension offers an avenue for sustained business growth and continuity. Regional firms familiar with the Midlands' public procurement landscape will find these opportunities particularly accessible due to the straightforward registration on the shared procurement system, designed to streamline engagement across multiple local authorities.

This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities. Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work. Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.",
