Summary of the contracting process

The Orkney Islands Council has completed a procurement process for cleaning services at Eday Pier, located in the Orkney Islands (UKM65). The process used an open procedure under the services category, with the procurement having moved through the tender and award stages by June 2025. The contract for these services, intended to maintain cleanliness standards for public conveniences and waiting rooms, was awarded to A W Garson Ltd. The contract commenced on 1 May 2025 and is projected to run for three years, with potential extensions available for an additional two years in 12-month increments. The total contract value is estimated at GBP 2,500 per annum, offering an opportunity for ongoing engagement for successful suppliers in the region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those that can efficiently handle the keyholder responsibilities and timely reporting of any defects found in facilities. Firms looking to expand their operations in regional or local services would find this contract beneficial, especially as materials and equipment are provided, reducing upfront costs for smaller enterprises. Companies with capabilities in service delivery in rural or remote locations, like those within the Orkney Islands, are especially well-suited. Given the ongoing nature of the contract, the presence of potential renewal options further accentuates the possibility for sustained business growth. Businesses that provide cost-effective, quality cleaning services and exhibit strong organisational and reporting prowess are ideal to compete for such tenders.
