This is a facilities-cleaning services contract (CPV 90911000), requiring delivery across both Trusts’ estates.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is structured as one lot, with bids assessed equally on quality and price, each weighted at 50%. The bid submission deadline set by the buyer was 20 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC; the stated award decision date was 30 November 2026.
