Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Molendinar Park Housing Association is seeking a contractor to clean shared external areas at about 87 tenanted properties in Glasgow, in the G31, G40 and G45 areas. The regular work covers stairs and landings, close windows, bin stores, entrances, pathways, and windows at the office and common room. The contractor must supply cleaning materials, arrange safe temporary access, communicate with residents and provide quality-control monitoring. The scope also includes priced one-off or call-out services such as power washing, bin cleaning, graffiti removal, void clearance, bulk waste uplift, and the safe removal of sharps, bodily fluids and guano. This is a building and communal-area cleaning services contract, including window cleaning and some waste-related work.

The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated bid opening was at 14:00 that day. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with annual extensions at the housing association’s discretion through 31 March 2032. The notice gives no estimated contract value. There is one lot, and variant bids are not allowed. Suppliers must pass the selection assessment in the SPD before quality and price are evaluated. The quality submission carries 70% of the score and price 30%; quality is assessed against the employer’s requirements, while price is scored relative to the lowest tender. The contract includes community benefits, with details in the works specification.

This opportunity suits cleaning contractors able to service multiple occupied housing properties and manage both scheduled communal-area cleaning and responsive specialist tasks. Bidders need to show they meet the minimum selection standards in the SPD and provide a Contractor Design Proposal explaining how they will deliver the specification and the employer’s stated requirements. The work calls for reliable staffing and supervision, provision of cleaning supplies, safe temporary access arrangements, resident communication and documented quality monitoring. Suppliers should be equipped to handle varied tasks, including pressure washing, floor sealing, waste uplift, void clearance and safe clean-up of potentially hazardous material such as sharps and bodily fluids. Community benefits form part of the requirement. The quality proposal has greater scoring weight than price, so a credible delivery plan is important alongside a competitive tender.
