UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Populo Living Limited is seeking a contractor to provide planned and reactive communal cleaning across its residential properties. The work covers stairwells, corridors, lifts, bin stores, entrances and nearby external areas. The service also includes regular inspections and reporting defects, hazards and anti-social behaviour, alongside safe handling of waste and sharps. South East Consortium is managing the procurement for Populo Living. The work is residential building and communal-area cleaning, suited to providers able to deliver a consistent service across multiple properties and respond to both scheduled requirements and reactive requests.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive, multi-stage tender, comprising written submissions, cost assessment and interviews. The enquiry deadline was 30 September 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The buyer set an award decision date of 24 November 2026. The contract is due to run from 8 January 2027 to 7 January 2030, with a one-year renewal option. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation assigns 60% to quality, comprising written submissions (50%) and interviews (10%), and 40% to cost. The tender deadlines were extended following a high volume of clarification questions.

This requirement is best suited to established cleaning contractors with the operational capacity to maintain communal areas across residential properties while handling both planned visits and reactive work. Suppliers need to demonstrate a resident-focused approach, effective inspection and reporting processes, and the ability to identify and report defects, hazards and anti-social behaviour. Safe waste and sharps management, and robust health and safety and safeguarding practices, are central to delivery. Contractors must also be able to meet GDPR and performance requirements. The evaluation gives quality greater weight than cost and includes an interview stage, so bidders should be ready to explain their service approach as well as provide a written response and priced offer.
