UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chorley Council, South Ribble Borough Council, Chorley Leisure Limited and South Ribble Leisure Limited are jointly seeking a supplier for janitorial and sundry cleaning products. The requirement covers brooms, brushes, toilet brushes, sponges, buckets, bins, dustpans, and other household cleaning and polishing products. The goods are intended for delivery across the areas served by Chorley and South Ribble, including Chorley and Leyland. This is a goods supply opportunity rather than a cleaning-services or facilities-management contract. The requirement is suitable for businesses that can provide a broad range of routine cleaning consumables and equipment to the participating local-authority and leisure organisations. The detailed specification and ordering requirements are set out in the tender pack.

The process has reached tender: the buyers invited offers through an open procedure. There is one lot, with an estimated gross value of £500,000 including VAT. Questions had to be submitted by 16 September 2026 at 17:00, and bids had to be submitted through The Chest procurement portal by 23 September 2026 at 12:00; bids in other formats were not accepted. The intended contract period is 7 December 2026 to 6 December 2029, with two possible one-year extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 6 December 2031. The award decision period is due to end on 23 November 2026. Price is the stated award criterion. Economic and technical selection requirements also apply, as detailed in the tender pack.

This opportunity suits suppliers with the product range and operational capacity to source, stock and deliver janitorial and sundry products across Chorley and South Ribble. Businesses should be able to supply both everyday cleaning chemicals and equipment, including brushes, brooms, sponges, buckets, bins and dustpans, and manage the requirements of several public-sector and leisure organisations. The stated selection process assesses economic and technical capability, so bidders will need to demonstrate that their business is financially suitable and technically able to meet the specification. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist distributors, wholesalers and other cleaning-products suppliers with reliable fulfilment arrangements.
