Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council procured building cleaning services for all four elevations of the Leigh Turnpike/Library building in Leigh. The purpose was to prepare the building for the official opening of Leigh Civic Square. The work covered cleaning exposed concrete surfaces and removing dirt, algae, other biological growth, pollution staining and surface contaminants. Cleaning had to avoid damaging the concrete. The specified method was the DOFF Integra steam cleaning system, which uses superheated water at low pressure. This is a specialist external building-cleaning requirement involving sensitive concrete restoration rather than routine internal cleaning. It falls within cleaning and environmental services. The buyer was Wigan Council, and the work was delivered at the Leigh Turnpike/Library building in Leigh.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to WJ Structures. It was a below-threshold procedure without competition. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £33,614.60 excluding VAT, or £40,337.52 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement. WJ Structures is the selected supplier, and the contract remains active. The award was for services and was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The short contract period reflects the requirement to complete the cleaning before the civic square opening.

This award indicates demand for specialist external cleaning of exposed architectural concrete in a civic redevelopment setting. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical experience removing biological growth, pollution staining and embedded surface contamination without scarring, etching or otherwise damaging concrete. The ability to operate a DOFF Integra or equivalent superheated-water, low-pressure steam system is central to the requirement, alongside suitable operators, equipment and safe working practices for all elevations of a public building. Relevant experience should demonstrate controlled cleaning of sensitive concrete façades, consistent finish quality and the capacity to mobilise quickly for time-critical public-sector projects. WJ Structures is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of specialist work can be delivered by an SME with the necessary technical capability.
