UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority, acting for Greater Manchester Police, appointed a provider for internal and external window-cleaning services. The work covers windows and door frames, external glazed surfaces including roofs and skylights, and internal windows, glazed doors, partitions and screens. Delivery is in Greater Manchester. This is a facilities cleaning requirement focused on glazing across the police authority’s premises, rather than general building cleaning. The contract calls for a single service provider to carry out the complete range of listed cleaning tasks.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TLC Window Cleaning Ltd. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with an optional 12-month extension, taking the maximum period to 31 October 2028. The contract value is £160,000 excluding VAT (£192,000 including VAT). The process used a below-threshold limited competition and comprised one lot. The award is for window-cleaning services across Greater Manchester Police requirements. The contract is active; the recorded award is active. The stated contract scope requires one appointed supplier to deliver internal and external cleaning of windows and associated glazed surfaces.

The award shows demand for a specialist window-cleaning contractor able to serve Greater Manchester Police premises through a single-provider arrangement. A credible competitor for this requirement would need the workforce, equipment and operating capacity to clean both internal and external glazing, including roof and skylight surfaces, as well as frames, glazed doors, partitions and screens. Experience coordinating a broad premises-wide service for a public authority would be relevant, alongside the ability to deliver reliably across Greater Manchester. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that this scope was awarded to an SME; the published requirement does not indicate a need for a larger corporate supplier. The next competitor would need to show it can manage the full service scope as one integrated contract.
