Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive, trading as Nexus, buys cleaning services for its transport network. The work covers metro stations, bus stations, stops and interchanges, ferry terminals and office locations, as well as litter picking along the tracks. Delivery is across the North East of England. This is operational cleaning intended to maintain cleanliness throughout Nexus’s passenger transport sites and supporting locations. The awarded supplier is responsible for the existing service across these locations while replacement arrangements are being finalised.

The procurement has been awarded to Churchill Contract Services Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 31 August 2026. The contract record gives a value of £23,286,977 and a period of 90 days; the tender’s stated contract period is 2,520 days. The award is described as a short-term extension of the existing cleaning contract, rather than a change in the nature or scope of the services. Nexus says the extension maintains service continuity after a legal challenge affected the timetable for a replacement procurement. The stated procurement route is an extension under the Utilities Regulations 2016, justified by unforeseen circumstances; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

For cleaning contractors, this award demonstrates recurring demand from Nexus for a broad, multi-site transport cleaning operation, including stations, ferry terminals, offices and trackside litter picking. A credible competitor would need the capacity to deliver consistent services across public transport sites and a network extending across the North East, while maintaining continuity at operational locations. Experience coordinating cleaning across different transport environments, including passenger-facing buildings and track areas, would be relevant to this requirement. Churchill Contract Services Limited, identified as an SME, was selected for the existing service. The replacement procurement was affected by a legal challenge, illustrating the importance of being able to sustain service delivery through changes to procurement timetables and contractual arrangements. The requirement is focused on Nexus’s transport network, not general cleaning work.
