UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited plans to procure cleaning and caretaking services for residential blocks and supported housing schemes across its Severn, Tame and Witham regions. The work covers 97 properties, with cleaning services required across all three regions and all homes as one package. The scope is cleaning and caretaking, rather than a separate contract for each region or property. The stated service volume is 705 cleaning hours each week. Suppliers should consider whether they can manage a geographically spread residential portfolio and deliver a consistent cleaning service across supported housing and block settings.

This process is at the planning stage: the buyer has not issued an invitation to tender. Platform Housing Limited is undertaking pre-market engagement with cleaning contractors and plans to seek supplier responses to a market engagement document and its screening questions. The engagement is scheduled through 7 October 2026, and the buyer expects a further notice on that date. The proposed contract is for three years, from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2030, with a possible one-year extension to 1 January 2031. Its estimated gross value is £6,598,800. The three regions and all 97 properties form a single package; no award evaluation basis is stated at this stage.

This is likely to suit experienced, qualified cleaning contractors with the operational capacity to manage a substantial housing-services contract across three regions. Suppliers would need to be able to organise 705 cleaning hours each week and deliver the service across 97 properties, including both residential blocks and supported housing schemes. The buyer is seeking suppliers able to provide and manage cleaning services, alongside caretaking. The engagement is intended to attract contractors and gather market input before the tender stage, so interested businesses can use the planned engagement to assess the scope and prepare for the later procurement.
