Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council plans to procure specialist cleaning and clearance services for properties and public-service needs across South Lanarkshire. The work includes removing body fluids and tissue; clearing property contents; cleaning and disinfecting properties; disposing of contents; cleaning and disinfecting water supply systems; garden clearances; and treating, disposing of and recycling waste. This includes waste upholstered domestic seating containing persistent organic pollutants (WUDS/POPs). It is a services contract covering specialist cleaning, disinfection, clearance and waste-management activities. The council is the contracting organisation and the delivery area is South Lanarkshire, including Hamilton and surrounding communities. The main classification is CPV 90900000, covering cleaning and sanitation services, with related classifications for cleaning, refuse removal, waste disposal and specialist cleaning.

This procurement is at the planning stage: South Lanarkshire Council has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. The council expects to use a single-lot open tender under regulation 28 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. It will assess tenders using the most economically advantageous tender approach, taking account of both price and qualitative technical aspects. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with an option to extend for up to a further 36 months. The council’s indicative date for the next notice is 1 September 2026. No contract value or budget is stated.

The planned service will suit established specialist cleaning and clearance contractors able to manage sensitive, potentially hazardous situations professionally and safely. Relevant capability includes the removal of body fluids and tissue, property clearance, deep cleaning and disinfection, water-supply-system disinfection, garden clearance, and the compliant handling and disposal of waste. Businesses with waste-management, recycling and treatment capability will be well placed, particularly those experienced with upholstered seating containing persistent organic pollutants (WUDS/POPs). The requirement also favours suppliers able to combine cleaning, clearance, disposal and recycling services rather than providing only a narrow cleaning service. Companies should use the planning period to review their technical methods, waste routes, equipment, trained workforce and evidence of delivering comparable specialist work before the procurement reaches the market.
