Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council sought a contractor for specialist and general cleaning, property clearances and ad hoc services across Renfrewshire. The work covers trauma and hazardous cleans, houses, communal areas, gardens, void properties and tenanted properties. Services are Part 2 requirements, with individual jobs issued through task orders rather than a guaranteed volume of work or spend. The procurement covers cleaning and clearance services, including waste-related activities. The council is the public-sector buyer, and delivery is required across its area. The arrangement is intended to support council properties and communal spaces where specialist cleaning, clearance or other task-based services are needed.

The procurement used an open procedure with written submissions. The tender deadline was 25 September 2025 at 12:00, following a one-day extension, and tenders were opened at that time by two procurement officers. The procurement outcome was unsuccessful: the recorded award for the single lot did not result in a selected supplier. The planned initial service period was 24 months from an anticipated 5 January 2026 start, with two possible extensions of up to 12 months each at the council’s discretion. Evaluation included methodology and approach for voids, weighted at 10, and price, weighted at 30. Bidders could not submit variants. Task orders could carry delay damages, depending on the requirement.

This requirement indicates demand for suppliers able to mobilise quickly for specialist, hazardous and trauma cleaning, alongside routine cleaning and the clearance of houses, gardens, communal areas and void or tenanted properties. Credible providers would need practical task-order capacity, suitable equipment and trained staff for varied and potentially urgent assignments, with the ability to manage work across Renfrewshire. Relevant waste-handling capability is important, including the required Waste Carrier documentation. The council also expected insurance at the levels set in the procurement documents, health and safety evidence, equalities declarations, prompt-payment certification and disclosure of proposed subcontractors. Suppliers should be able to present a clear methodology for void work, manage delay-risk requirements and support electronic ordering, invoicing and payment.
