Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland (HES) initiated a public procurement process for the provision of cleaning services across various sites within their estate. The procurement falls under the category of services in the built environment, heritage, and tourism sector. The process, employing a restricted procedure as the procurement method, was managed electronically. The initial tender stage commenced on 10th June 2024 with a submission deadline on 16th July 2024, followed by an award stage culminating in the signing of the contract on 19th December 2024. HES is headquartered at Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh, and the procurement scope encompasses multiple locations within the UKM region. The key contract, valued at £1,186,522, was awarded to Mitie Cleaning & Environmental Services Ltd.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those with capabilities in handling large-scale and varied environments, including office buildings, heritage sites, and specialised cleaning needs such as laboratory environments. The contract, offering prospects for up to six years, initially spans three years with potential annual renewals thereafter, presenting a stable and long-term engagement opportunity. Companies adept in providing high-quality, consistent service standards and handling complex requirements will find this tender particularly advantageous for business growth and portfolio expansion. Additionally, the emphasis on community benefits allows businesses to showcase their value-added services beyond traditional cleaning operations.

Lot 1

HES requires the provision of cleaning services at various sites across the estate. A full list of sites can be found in Appendix 1. This list is not exhaustive and HES reserves the right to add or remove sites and requirements during the lifetime of the contract. The plan is also to move all staff from John Sinclair House into Longmore House. A timescale for this has not been finalised but is likely to be within the next 2-3 years. The Supplier should be aware that there is a smarter working project underway within Longmore House so the outcome of this will be cascaded in due course.
