Summary of the contracting process

Citizen Housing Group Ltd procured building safety cleaning and clearance services for communal spaces used by its residents. The work is intended to keep these areas safe and clean and to support compliance with building safety regulatory requirements. The requirement falls within cleaning services and is part of responsive housing repairs and void property services. It is therefore relevant to providers able to deliver cleaning and clearance work in residential communal areas, particularly where the work must support building safety obligations. The selected supplier, VPS (UK) Limited, is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement covered services rather than goods or construction works, with delivery associated with Citizen Housing’s housing operations.

The procurement has been awarded through a limited procedure as a direct award without prior publication of a competition, using Procurement for Housing’s Responsive Housing Repairs & Void Property Services framework. The evaluation basis was price. VPS (UK) Limited was awarded the contract, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and is valued at £240,000. It commenced on 1 July 2026 for an initial 24-month period, with an initial expiry of 30 June 2028. Optional extensions of a further 24 months could extend the arrangement to 30 June 2030. One bid was recorded. The procurement is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates a housing provider’s demand for a defined combination of communal-area cleaning and clearance linked to building safety. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show reliable delivery across residential communal spaces, including the ability to clear areas as well as clean them, while working in a way that supports resident safety and regulatory compliance. The buying route also matters: this requirement was placed by direct award through a housing repairs and void property services framework, and price was the stated evaluation basis. Suppliers with an established housing-services offer, framework access or experience of working with housing organisations would be well placed to compete when a similar requirement is next considered. The awarded supplier’s SME status indicates that delivery is not necessarily limited to large national businesses.
