Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured cleaning and sanitation services in London through a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement covers external window cleaning, including buildings up to and above 75 feet, and internal window cleaning in high-rise properties. The procurement was managed by Southern Housing, a public-law housing organisation and central purchasing body. The work is therefore suited to suppliers delivering specialist window-cleaning services across housing stock in London, particularly where access, height and internal high-rise conditions require appropriate equipment, trained operatives and safe working arrangements. The procurement category is services, with the requirement classified under CPV 90900000 for cleaning and sanitation services. The named requirement was associated with the Cleanscapes lot within Southern Housing’s wider cleaning services purchasing arrangement.

The process has been completed and the contract was awarded to Cleanscapes Ltd. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 20 May 2026 for £596,746.94, including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement used a selective restricted procedure. Evaluation was based on quality weighted at 60% and price weighted at 40%. Seven bids were received, including five from small and medium-sized enterprises, and all seven bids were submitted electronically. The procurement records one lot for the window-cleaning requirement; that lot is marked cancelled even though the associated award and contract are recorded as active. No contract period or separate award date is recorded alongside the outcome.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Southern Housing for specialist window cleaning across high-rise and very tall buildings in London. A credible competitor for comparable housing work would need to show dependable delivery at scale, including the capability to clean external windows at heights above 75 feet and internal windows in high-rise properties. Strong quality evidence matters more than price alone because quality carried the greater evaluation weighting. Suppliers should be able to operate through an electronic restricted procurement route and provide a clear, proportionate method statement covering safe access, equipment, competent staff, scheduling, tenant-facing working practices and consistent service delivery. The participation profile also shows that smaller firms can compete, while the awarded supplier’s delivery model would need to satisfy a substantial housing portfolio requirement.
