UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council procured window-cleaning services for its civic buildings and schools. The requirement covers accommodation, building and window cleaning services, classified under CPV 90911000. Delivery is associated with Sunderland, serving council premises and education sites within the city. This is a facilities-services opportunity for window-cleaning contractors able to work across public-sector buildings, including sites with differing access arrangements and operating environments. The council is the buyer and the requirement was organised as a single-supplier arrangement, so the appointed provider is responsible for the service rather than sharing the requirement with other suppliers. The awarded supplier, City Clean (Northern) Limited, is an SME based in Wallsend.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to City Clean (Northern) Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition and was established as a closed, single-supplier framework without reopening competition. One lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2030. Its value is £118,512 excluding VAT, or £142,214.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for window cleaning and related building-cleaning activity. The arrangement gives the appointed supplier responsibility for delivery across the council’s civic buildings and schools for the stated contract period.

This award indicates established demand from Sunderland City Council for planned window cleaning across civic buildings and schools, delivered through a single-supplier arrangement. A credible future competitor would need dependable window-cleaning operations, the capacity to cover multiple public-sector sites and the organisation to maintain consistent service across buildings used for civic and educational purposes. Contractors should be prepared for a limited-competition route and for the requirements of a council customer, including reliable scheduling, site coordination and continuity over a multi-year service period. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that the scale and delivery model can suit a smaller specialist contractor with sufficient local or regional capacity. Relevant firms are commercial window-cleaning and building-cleaning providers focused on public buildings.
