Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey bought building-cleaning services for Burlington House, for Alder Hey Hospital. The work is cleaning premises; the published scope does not describe specific tasks, service levels or building areas. The named buyer is Alder Hey. Delivery is recorded across a broad range of England, spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a facilities services requirement rather than a purchase of cleaning equipment or building works. The award identifies the service as building cleaning (CPV 90911200).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to TIME-OUT SERVICES LIMITED. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £20,700 excluding VAT and £24,840 including VAT. Alder Hey used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The requirement was handled as a single lot, and the supplier was awarded building-cleaning services. No competitive evaluation or award criteria are recorded in the process information. The contract is active. The award therefore records a selected supplier and a signed contract, rather than an opportunity awaiting supplier bids.

For cleaning contractors, this award shows that Alder Hey has a recurring requirement for building cleaning at Burlington House, associated with Alder Hey Hospital. A credible supplier would need to deliver routine premises-cleaning services reliably and manage the staffing and operational capacity needed to cover the specified site. The successful supplier is a small business, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by an SME; it does not establish that the work requires a large national operator. The buyer selected a supplier through a direct award without competition, so the process gives no evidence of the technical, quality or price criteria that would apply in a future competition. Suppliers with relevant building-cleaning experience and the ability to service healthcare-related premises would be well placed to assess similar demand from this buyer.
