Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured cleaning and sanitation services through a dynamic purchasing system, specifically external window cleaning at heights up to and above 75 feet and internal high-rise window cleaning. The work is for properties in London. Southern Housing is the buyer and acts as a central purchasing body. This is a specialist access and cleaning requirement rather than general building cleaning: relevant suppliers are those able to clean windows on high-rise residential or similar buildings, including external areas requiring work at significant height. The procurement is classified under CPV 90900000. The requirement was arranged as one lot covering the described window-cleaning services.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to Mark Durant Cleaning LLP. The associated contract is active, valued at £236,584, and was signed on 20 May 2026. The procedure used was a selective restricted procedure within a dynamic purchasing system. Evaluation gave quality 60% and price 40%. Seven bids were received, including five from SMEs, and all seven were submitted electronically. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are recorded as active. The contracting record identifies Southern Housing as the buyer and Mark Durant Cleaning LLP as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from a housing provider for specialist high-rise window cleaning in London, including external cleaning at substantial height and internal cleaning in high-rise buildings. Competitors would need practical capability in both elements of the requirement, suitable equipment and safe systems for work at height, and the operational capacity to deliver cleaning across housing properties. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, so evidence of reliable service delivery, competent staff, effective health and safety controls, and clear quality management would be important when this type of requirement is next tested. The result also shows that an SME cleaning business was able to compete successfully, with five SME bids received.
