Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council procured street-cleaning services across Cheshire West and Chester. The requirement covered two service areas: specialist street washing to remove chewing gum, and deep cleaning of rows. Both are practical environmental and public-realm cleaning services, involving work on council-managed streets and related public spaces. The procurement falls within street-cleaning and sweeping services. It was divided into separate lots so suppliers could provide either gum removal, rows deep cleaning, or both. The council was the buying organisation, with delivery across the Cheshire West and Chester area. The requirement is relevant to cleaning contractors with mobile teams, specialist surface-cleaning equipment and the operational ability to work across multiple public locations.

This procurement has been awarded and contracts have been signed with UK Nationwide Cleaning Services Limited, an SME, for both lots. The open, below-threshold competition used weighted questions: quality counted for 30% and price for 70%. Bids were due by 17 July 2026 at 10:00, with enquiries closing on 10 July 2026 at 10:00. Lot 1, Street washing Gum Removal, had an estimated gross value of £100,000; its signed contract is worth £33,000 gross, signed on 25 August 2026 and running from 31 August 2026 to 31 August 2027, with two 12-month extensions available to 31 August 2029. Lot 2, Rows Deep Cleaning, had an estimated gross value of £107,720; its signed contract is worth £27,600 gross, signed on 24 August 2026 and running over the same initial period, with two 12-month extensions to 31 August 2029.

The outcome demonstrates demand from Cheshire West and Chester Council for specialist public-realm cleaning delivered through separate, focused service packages. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in chewing-gum removal and street washing for Lot 1, or rows and hard-surface deep cleaning for Lot 2, with the capacity to mobilise staff and equipment across multiple council locations. The evaluation shows that service quality matters, but price carries the greater weighting, so suppliers would need an efficient delivery model alongside clear evidence of reliable results. Both lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that established local specialists, social enterprises and other focused cleaning businesses could be relevant competitors when this requirement returns to market.
