Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council intends to procure building cleaning services across its corporate buildings, schools, libraries, community sites, housing and multi-storey car parks. This is a public-sector cleaning services requirement, covering a varied estate used for administrative, educational, community, residential and transport-related purposes. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for sites associated with the council’s buildings and services. The requirement is grouped as a single lot, so suppliers should consider whether they can provide a coordinated service across all listed property types rather than focusing on only one kind of building. The buying organisation is Wokingham Borough Council, based in Wokingham. The scope is relevant to commercial cleaning companies and facilities management providers with experience managing cleaning across multiple public or similarly diverse sites.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated an intention to buy, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish the next notice on 1 February 2027. The planned contract is for one lot, with an expected term from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030 and a possible renewal or extension to 31 August 2032. The estimated value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. The procurement is planned as a services contract under the Procurement Act 2023. The record sets out a planned procurement rather than a bid stage, so suppliers should use the intervening period to assess fit, capacity and readiness for the future competition.

The requirement should suit established cleaning contractors and facilities management businesses able to organise reliable services across a broad, multi-site estate. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating experience in corporate buildings, schools, libraries, community facilities, housing and multi-storey car parks, together with the management systems and workforce capacity needed to coordinate different operating environments. Suppliers with public-sector, education, housing or other complex estate experience are likely to be well placed when the requirement reaches the market. Businesses should assess their geographic coverage, mobilisation capability, staffing model, quality controls and ability to maintain consistent standards across varied sites. Specialist cleaning firms may also consider whether they can participate through a suitable delivery partnership or subcontracting arrangement.
