Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council intends to procure specialist cleaning and clearance services across South Lanarkshire, with delivery centred on properties and sites in the council area. The scope includes removing body fluids and tissue; clearing, cleaning and disinfecting properties, including disposal of their contents; cleaning and disinfecting water supply systems; and garden clearances. The service will also cover treatment, disposal and recycling of waste, including waste upholstered domestic seating containing persistent organic pollutants. This is a specialist cleaning, sanitation and waste-disposal requirement, covering both property remediation and associated refuse, foul-liquid and clinical-waste handling. The council is the buyer and is based in Hamilton.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use an open tender procedure, awarding the single planned lot on the most economically advantageous tender basis, taking account of qualitative technical aspects as well as price. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with an option to extend by up to 36 months. The council expects the next notice to be published on 1 September 2026. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract value or budget is stated. Suppliers should therefore treat the dates as indicative planning expectations rather than response deadlines.

The requirement is likely to suit specialist cleaning and environmental services contractors able to manage contaminated or sensitive premises safely and compliantly. Relevant capability includes body-fluid and tissue removal, deep cleaning, disinfection, property clearance, water-system cleaning and garden clearance. Firms should be prepared to handle the segregation, treatment, lawful disposal and recycling of different waste streams, including foul liquids, clinical waste and upholstered seating containing persistent organic pollutants. Strong operational procedures, trained staff, suitable vehicles and equipment, and reliable waste-transfer and disposal arrangements will be important. Contractors with experience in public-sector or housing-property remediation, incident response and technically documented cleaning outcomes should use the planning period to prepare for the later competition.
