Summary of the contracting process

TransPennine Trains Limited is procuring cleaning and presentation services across its operational estate. The scope covers managed railway stations, train cleaning and turnaround activities for the fleet, offices, depots and associated facilities. This is a transport cleaning services contract, including cleaning of transport equipment and office cleaning. Delivery is required across the buyer’s operational estate in the United Kingdom. The requirement is suitable for businesses providing large-scale commercial, rail, station, fleet, depot or facilities cleaning services, particularly those able to coordinate consistent standards across varied operational sites and time-critical train-cleaning activities.

The procurement has reached tender: TransPennine Trains invited suppliers to participate through an open competitive flexible procedure. It is a two-stage process, beginning with an Invitation to Participate and followed by an Invitation to Negotiate for shortlisted candidates, with a possible best-and-final-offer stage. Enquiries close at 14:00 on 21 August 2026 and expressions of interest are due by 12:00 on 28 August 2026. The contract is valued at £27,672,303 gross. The initial contract period is 5 March 2027 to 4 March 2029, with options to extend by two further 12-month periods, up to 4 March 2031. Award is scheduled for 4 February 2027. Evaluation is 60% technical quality and 40% price.

This opportunity suits cleaning and facilities-management providers with the operational capacity to cover stations, trains, offices, depots and related railway facilities across a dispersed estate. Strong candidates will be able to manage train turnaround cleaning alongside routine and specialist building cleaning, maintain reliable staffing and supervision, and operate safely in live transport environments. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller firms may be well placed to compete, either with sufficient direct capacity or through an appropriate delivery model. Suppliers need to satisfy the buyer’s economic and technical selection requirements, as set out in the Invitation to Participate documents and Procurement Specific Questionnaire. English-language electronic submissions are permitted.
