UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worthing Borough Council, on behalf of Adur and Worthing Councils, is planning to appoint an experienced public realm cleaning contractor for pressure washing public-space floors and street furniture. The work will remove general contamination and chewing gum from public spaces, with cleaning typically instructed on an ad hoc basis. It is a street-cleaning services requirement, classified under CPV 90611000, delivered across the councils’ public spaces in West Sussex. The councils intend to use a contractor based in West Sussex. This will suit businesses specialising in high-pressure cleaning, public realm maintenance and the removal of ingrained dirt, gum and other contamination from hard surfaces and street furniture.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the councils have stated an intention to procure and have not yet issued an invitation to tender. The expected contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, for up to three years. The estimated value is £60,000 excluding VAT, or £72,000 including VAT, with an estimated annual spend of £20,000. The procurement is planned as a single lot and is intended to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The councils expect to publish the next notice on 16 November 2026. They have scheduled preliminary market engagement, with expressions of interest requested by 21 August 2026. The planned engagement is intended to inform the future procurement rather than invite bids.

The work is likely to suit an established local or regional cleaning contractor able to respond to ad hoc instructions across public spaces in West Sussex. Relevant suppliers will be those with practical experience of pressure washing hard public surfaces and street furniture, removing chewing gum and general contamination, and managing public realm cleaning safely and consistently. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate their company identity, registered company details where relevant, business address and a concise description of their services during the planned market engagement. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable for the requirement. Contractors with local operational coverage, suitable pressure-washing equipment, trained staff and capacity for intermittent cleaning instructions are likely to be well placed when the procurement reaches the market.
