UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon and Cornwall Police is procuring regional cleaning services for Avon and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire police forces, plus Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service. The work covers cleaning services, including cleaning accommodation, buildings and windows. It is a single regional requirement serving police and fire and rescue facilities across these forces. The delivery area is the participating force areas in the South West of England. The contracting arrangement is intended to use one provider for the regional service, rather than splitting the requirement into separate lots, to support operational resilience, clear performance accountability, better management information and economies of scale.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is at tender stage; the stated enquiry deadline was 2 December 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 11 December 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2034. Its estimated value is £55 million excluding VAT, or £66 million including VAT. There is one lot, intended for a single provider. Bids are assessed on price (70%), quality (20%) and social value (10%). The planned award decision date is 1 March 2027. The requirement is marked as recurring, with a subsequent procurement anticipated from September 2033.

This is a large-scale, long-term opportunity for a cleaning contractor able to deliver consistent services across multiple police forces and a fire and rescue authority in a regional estate. Suppliers will need the operational capacity and management capability to coordinate delivery across a broad area and maintain service performance for one provider arrangement. The buyer’s stated reasons for using a single provider include resilience, clear accountability, improved management information and economies of scale, so bidders should be positioned to demonstrate effective contract oversight and reliable regional delivery. Quality and social value together account for 30% of the evaluation, making service approach and the value delivered beyond price commercially important alongside a competitive cost proposal.
