UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a community cleaning service covering three locations in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for routine or otherwise specified cleaning services supporting community-based NHS facilities. The buying organisation is based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, and the service is categorised as cleaning services (CPV 90910000). This is a services procurement rather than a supply or construction contract. Suppliers should therefore be able to deliver cleaning operations across three separate locations and work in a community healthcare setting, subject to the detailed service specification and contractual requirements.

The procurement reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is arranged as a single lot. The enquiry deadline set by the buyer was 10 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 15 September 2026 at 17:00. Electronic submission was allowed, with access and submission through the MultiQuote supplier portal. The estimated value is £160,000 excluding VAT, or £192,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with extensions allowed for two further 12-month periods, up to 31 December 2031. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality, 10% social value and 30% commercial.

This opportunity suits cleaning contractors able to provide community cleaning services across multiple locations and to demonstrate a strong, reliable quality-led delivery model. The evaluation gives quality the greatest weighting, so suppliers should be prepared to explain their operating methods, service controls, staffing arrangements and approach to maintaining standards. Social value accounts for 10%, creating scope for proposals that offer wider community or social benefits alongside cleaning delivery. Commercial pricing accounts for 30%, making cost competitiveness important but not the sole basis of award. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may be accessible to smaller specialist operators as well as established cleaning providers.
