Summary of the contracting process

Incommunities Ltd intends to procure internal communal cleaning and external window-cleaning services for its residential properties. The work covers low- and medium-rise new-build and acquired accommodation, together with sheltered housing schemes, throughout West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. The requirement is intended to provide a high-quality, reliable and consistent cleaning service across the identified properties. It may also cover additional homes and schemes that Incommunities acquires or develops during the contract term. This is a property-services requirement for suppliers able to combine communal-area cleaning with external window cleaning across a dispersed residential portfolio. The buyer may appoint one supplier or several suppliers to deliver the services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Incommunities Ltd has announced an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects to publish the next notice on 1 October 2026. It has planned preliminary market engagement, with interested suppliers asked to complete a questionnaire by 14 September 2026; responses will inform the procurement approach, specification, contract strategy and structure. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is divided into one lot. The planned contract period is from 31 January 2027 to 31 January 2027, with a maximum extent date of 31 January 2031 and a renewal option. The recorded gross value is £0 GBP.

This will suit commercial cleaning and facilities-services businesses with experience of cleaning communal areas and external windows in residential or sheltered-housing settings. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver consistent standards across low- and medium-rise buildings and multiple locations throughout West and North Yorkshire, while maintaining reliable day-to-day service delivery. The requirement may suit a lead contractor capable of managing a broad portfolio, as well as specialist providers that could participate if the buyer appoints more than one supplier. Businesses can use the planned market-engagement stage to explain their delivery model, geographic coverage, workforce capacity, quality controls and approach to accommodating properties added during the contract term. The buyer has specifically said it is seeking a high-quality, reliable and consistent service.
