Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by The City of Edinburgh Council involves a contract for specialised cleaning services at cultural venues including Usher Hall, Assembly Rooms, and Church Hill Theatre, located in Edinburgh. This procurement falls under the category of services within the region of UKM75. The process has completed the award stage, where the contract was awarded to Perfect Clean Edinburgh Ltd on 22 August 2025. Initially initiated as a tender on 8 April 2025, the contract aimed to secure eco-friendly and sustainable cleaning services aligned with the Council's commitment to Net Zero by 2030. The procurement followed a selective, restricted procedure, and had a provision for electronic submissions, emphasising quality over price with a 60:40 ratio in favour of quality.

This contract offers substantial business opportunities for companies specialising in professional cleaning services, particularly those with a focus on sustainability and innovative eco-friendly solutions. Small to medium-sized enterprises, like the awarded Perfect Clean Edinburgh Ltd, stand well-positioned to compete, delivering high-quality services while complementing the Council's broader environmental goals. Businesses with the ability to meet high cleaning standards, as well as those with experience in maintaining historical and cultural sites, would particularly benefit from engaging with such contracts. The requirement for a strong financial standing with a minimum turnover and specified insurance levels further underlines the opportunities for well-established firms to provide strategic and long-term service delivery.
