UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited, with NWUPC Ltd, is procuring building cleaning services for education and the wider public sector. The requirement is a re-tender of the existing Building Cleaning Services Framework and will create an open framework giving participating public bodies a compliant route to appoint specialist cleaning suppliers. Services are divided geographically across 14 lots: North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, and a national United Kingdom lot. Suppliers may therefore target regional delivery or offer coverage across the country. The framework is intended for CPC members, education-sector organisations, wider public-sector bodies and NWUPC members.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyers invited offers using an open competitive flexible procedure. It has three stages: conditions of participation and a Procurement Specific Questionnaire, dialogue with qualifying bidders, then an invitation to tender covering quality and pricing. Enquiries were due by 8 September 2026 at 17:00, and tender submissions were due by 15 September 2026 at 17:00. The intended award decision date was 22 March 2027. Each lot has an estimated value of £214,285,714 excluding VAT (£257,142,856.80 including VAT), while the overall estimate is £3,000,000,000 excluding VAT (£3,600,000,000 including VAT). Each lot runs from 22 March 2027 to 21 March 2029, with three possible 24-month extensions to 21 March 2035. Quality scores 60% and pricing 40%.

This opportunity suits established building-cleaning providers able to deliver consistently in schools, colleges and other public-sector settings. Suppliers can compete for a specific region or demonstrate the operational reach, workforce and management systems needed for national delivery. The open framework is expected to accommodate up to 140 participants and will reopen competition every two years across its eight-year series, creating a route to future call-off competitions as well as initial appointments. The lots are expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller or mission-led providers can participate where they have the relevant service capability and geographic capacity. Bidders should be prepared for a multi-stage process involving mandatory participation requirements, dialogue on call-off contract terms, and later quality and pricing assessments.
