Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea commissioned cleaning services for Swansea Bus Station. The requirement covers a deep clean together with additional cleaning duties, intended to maintain the station and provide general cleaning and sanitation services. The work is delivered at Swansea Bus Station in Swansea, for the council as the public-sector buyer. It is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The scope is relevant to commercial cleaning contractors, facilities management businesses and other suppliers able to undertake intensive cleaning and follow-on duties in a public transport environment. The procurement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller specialist or locally based cleaning businesses as well as larger facilities services providers.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The City & County of Swansea used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was awarded to CREWCONNECT RPO LTD for the single lot. The awarded value is £29,999.98 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 December 2026. A future contract signature was scheduled for 11 September 2026. The requirement was classified as cleaning and sanitation services. The award is linked to a complete tender and the supplier selected is a Swansea-based SME. This outcome shows a short-term, single-site service procured through a direct route rather than an openly competed tender.

For cleaning contractors and facilities service providers, this procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for deep cleaning and additional cleaning duties at a public bus station in Swansea. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the staff, equipment and operational capacity to deliver intensive cleaning and routine additional duties safely in a busy public transport setting. Experience of cleaning and sanitation services is directly relevant, particularly where work must be coordinated around the operation of a transport facility. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct award without competition shows that smaller suppliers can be considered for this type of council requirement. The selected supplier’s SME status also indicates that the opportunity can suit a focused specialist rather than only a national contractor.
