UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured cleaning services for Chester House Estate, including Chester House and the Arc building. The requirement covers janitorial services, including cleaning activity across the estate. The council is the buying organisation and the work is for its facilities in North Northamptonshire, Northamptonshire. This is a public-sector facilities cleaning requirement rather than a supply-only contract, so relevant businesses are commercial cleaning contractors able to provide on-site janitorial services for an estate comprising historic or visitor-facing buildings. The awarded supplier, INTER COUNTY SERVICE GROUP LTD, is a Northamptonshire-based SME, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a smaller regional cleaning business with the capacity to service the estate.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It was treated as one lot. The contract was awarded to INTER COUNTY SERVICE GROUP LTD on 26 June 2026 and signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 26 June 2026 to 20 June 2027. Its value is £82,500 excluding VAT and £99,000 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competitive tendering. The tender description records a waiver of £99,000. The award covers janitorial services for the single lot, with the contract held by the named supplier. The process is complete, and the contract is active.

This procurement is useful market evidence for cleaning contractors targeting North Northamptonshire Council. It shows demand for janitorial services across a multi-building estate that includes Chester House and the Arc, rather than a single conventional office site. A credible competitor would need reliable on-site cleaning operations, workforce planning, supervision and the ability to maintain consistent standards across public or visitor-facing premises. Local presence may be commercially useful because the awarded supplier is based in Northamptonshire, but the key capability is dependable service delivery across the estate. Businesses reviewing similar future requirements should be able to demonstrate relevant facilities-cleaning experience, operational capacity for an estate-wide service and the resilience to manage continuity throughout the contract.
