Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire is procuring specialist decontamination and cleaning services to support policing operations across England. The work covers deep cleaning and decontamination of custody cells, holding areas and related facilities after contamination or biohazard incidents; specialist cleaning and sanitisation of police fleet vehicles affected by biological or chemical contamination; and forensic-aware cleaning at potential crime scenes, following police instructions and protecting evidential integrity. The service also includes needle and sharps removal, safe hazardous-waste disposal and emergency response, including out-of-hours call-outs. This is a cleaning and sanitation services requirement (CPV 90900000), delivered in sensitive policing environments where confidentiality is essential.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 7 August 2026 at 12:00 and must submit offers by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to run from 5 October 2026 to 5 October 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions; the maximum possible end date is 6 October 2031. The estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Offers will be evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%.

This opportunity suits specialist decontamination, hazardous-waste and forensic-aware cleaning providers able to respond across England, including at short notice and outside normal hours. Competing suppliers need the operational capability to clean custody environments, sanitise contaminated police vehicles, work at potential crime scenes without compromising evidence, and remove needles and sharps safely. They must understand the handling and disposal of hazardous waste and comply with relevant health and safety legislation, environmental regulations and industry best practice. Staff must be appropriately trained, vetted and equipped, and able to work confidentially in sensitive policing settings. Providers with established emergency-response arrangements, suitable equipment, trained teams and experience in high-risk or controlled environments are likely to be well placed.
