Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring external contract cleaning services. The requirement covers cleaning services intended to deliver high standards of cleanliness, efficient service delivery and value for money. The procurement also seeks supplier input on innovative cleaning methods, including smart technologies, sustainable practices and data-driven performance management, so that these can inform an outcome-focused service specification. Delivery is within the United Kingdom, for the Council’s external cleaning services requirement. This is a services opportunity for cleaning contractors and facilities-management businesses with relevant operational expertise, particularly those able to demonstrate practical improvements through technology, sustainability and measurable service performance.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Supplier enquiries were due by 12 August 2026 at 23:59, and tender submissions were due by 19 August 2026 at 23:59. Electronic submission was allowed through the stated procurement system. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 2 March 2027 to 1 March 2029, with renewal options of one year plus one year, allowing extension to 1 March 2031. At the preliminary market engagement stage, evaluation is based on 100% technical quality; the final quality and cost weighting is to be confirmed at tender stage.

The opportunity suits cleaning contractors and facilities-services providers able to manage external cleaning delivery to consistently high standards across a public-sector requirement. Strong candidates are likely to have experience developing practical, efficient cleaning methods and applying smart technologies to service management. The Council is specifically seeking sustainable practices and data-driven performance management, so suppliers should be able to explain how they reduce environmental impact, monitor delivery and use performance information to improve outcomes. The requirement is also suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses with relevant cleaning experience, credible improvement ideas and the capacity to support measurable, value-focused delivery should consider participating.
