Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council procured kitchen ventilation canopy cleaning services. The work covers cleaning, inspection of ventilation systems, and repair and maintenance of catering equipment. It is divided between the councils: one service covering Rhondda Cynon Taf and one covering Merthyr Tydfil. Delivery is across the councils’ areas in South Wales. The requirement is a service contract for public-sector kitchens and catering facilities, rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. Suppliers able to provide recurring commercial kitchen extraction and ventilation cleaning, inspection and associated catering-equipment maintenance would be relevant. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and one supplier could deliver either council’s requirement or both where it has the necessary service coverage and capacity.

The procurement has been awarded to A J Crews & Co Ltd. The award date for both lots was 27 August 2026. Lot 1, for Rhondda Cynon Taf, was awarded at £472,500 excluding VAT (£567,000 including VAT). Lot 2, for Merthyr Tydfil, was awarded at £67,500 excluding VAT (£81,000 including VAT). Lot 1’s award was pending at the recorded stage, with standstill ending on 8 September 2026 and signature scheduled for 9 September 2026; Lot 2’s award was active. Both contracts run from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with renewal options described as 24 months and a maximum extent to 31 March 2031. The open procedure was evaluated separately by lot: price, quality and social value weighted 65%, 30% and 5% for Lot 1; price and quality weighted 70% and 30% for Lot 2.

This award demonstrates established demand from two Welsh councils for planned kitchen ventilation canopy cleaning, ventilation-system inspection and catering-equipment maintenance delivered across multiple public-sector sites. A credible future competitor would need the operational capability to service commercial kitchen extraction and ventilation systems consistently, inspect installations and undertake related catering-equipment repairs or maintenance. The requirement can suit an SME, but covering both councils would require sufficient geographical reach, mobile staffing and scheduling capacity, alongside robust quality controls. Suppliers should also be able to evidence dependable service delivery in public-sector or similarly regulated kitchen environments and address social-value requirements where competing for the larger council lot. The separate lot structure allows a business to focus its coverage on one council or build capacity to serve both.
