Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire buys regional cleaning services. The requirement covers cleaning provision across the United Kingdom under a single regional lot. It is a services contract for the Commissioner’s operational estate and associated facilities. The selected supplier is Solo Service Group, a large cleaning-services business based in Swansea. The buyer is based at Waterwells, Quedgely, Gloucestershire. The requirement is therefore relevant to cleaning contractors able to organise and deliver services across a broad geographic area, rather than firms focused only on one building or a small local site. It provides a clear example of a police-sector organisation procuring an ongoing, regionally managed cleaning service.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage: the award is active and Solo Service Group was selected for the regional cleaning services requirement. The contract was signed on 4 November 2018 and has a stated duration of 3,090 days. Its recorded value is £4,124,742.62. The contract has been extended for a further 12 months, until 31 August 2027, following an earlier seven-month extension to the same date in 2026. The earlier replacement tender was voluntarily terminated because of concerns raised by bidders. The modification is justified by circumstances the authority says could not reasonably have been foreseen. A replacement tender process is stated to commence in autumn 2026, with a replacement contract intended to start on 1 September 2027.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire for a substantial, long-term regional cleaning operation. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need the operational reach to manage cleaning services across multiple locations, with enough workforce, supervision and service infrastructure to maintain consistent delivery over an extended contract. Solo Service Group’s selection also indicates that the buyer can appoint an established, large-scale cleaning provider rather than a small single-site operator. Competitors should therefore be able to show a credible regional delivery model, reliable mobilisation and contract-management capacity, and experience of maintaining service quality for a public-sector estate of significant scale.
