Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Housing Association Ltd bought office cleaning services for its office at South Bridge House, Whinfield Road, Selkirk. The requirement covers routine cleaning under a single office-cleaning lot for the 2025–2030 period, with service frequencies set out in the cleaning specification and pricing schedules. The procurement is a services contract, classified under CPV 90919200 for office cleaning services. The buyer is a public-law housing association based in Selkirk, and the work is delivered at its Selkirk office. The requirement is therefore relevant to commercial cleaning companies with the operational ability to provide scheduled office cleaning at one housing-association premises and manage the associated service standards and reporting obligations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 11 July 2025 at 12:00, with bids opened at the same time; the award period began on 11 July 2025. Nine electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Flexi Clean Group Ltd was awarded the single lot, and the contract was signed on 30 March 2026. The contract value is £130,104, against an estimated tender value of £127,500. The contract runs for 1,800 days, covering the 2025–2030 period. Bids had to be submitted in English, variants were not allowed, and electronic payment and ordering apply, with electronic invoicing permitted. Evaluation included suitability requirements described in the procurement documents. The contract is active.

This award shows established demand from a Scottish housing association for a managed office-cleaning service at a single Selkirk premises, delivered through a formal open procedure. A future competitor would need a reliable commercial cleaning operation, enough staff and equipment to maintain scheduled frequencies, and the ability to price recurring work accurately against a detailed specification. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating suitability through tender evidence, following contractor conduct and contractual requirements, and operating effective service supervision and quality controls. The competition attracted nine SME bids, so smaller cleaning businesses can be relevant where they can show dependable local delivery, responsive management and capacity to sustain the required service over a multi-year contract.
