Summary of the contracting process

River Clyde Homes is procuring void property clearance and cleaning services for properties under its control in the Inverclyde area. The work covers clearing heavily cluttered empty homes, standard and deep cleaning, trauma cleaning, sharps removal, and cleaning communal areas and gardens. Suppliers must provide before-and-after photographs when work is completed. This is a services opportunity for contractors experienced in property clearance, specialist and sensitive cleaning, waste and sharps handling, and cleaning in housing environments. The buying organisation is River Clyde Homes, a housing provider based in Greenock. The requirement is intended to support the preparation of void properties for their next use, with both planned work items and ad-hoc call-outs included within the scope.

The process reached tender: River Clyde Homes invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic tender submission required. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened. The initial contract period is 360 days, or 12 months, with an option for up to three further 12-month extensions subject to the buyer’s discretion and mutual consent. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English; variants are not allowed. The contract includes electronic ordering and payment, with electronic invoicing permitted. Performance will be managed against formal key performance indicators. Staff names and qualifications must be provided, and bidders must propose specific, timed community benefits for the Inverclyde area.

This opportunity suits an established cleaning and property-clearance contractor able to mobilise teams for varied housing work, including very significantly cluttered void properties. Relevant capability includes standard and deep cleaning, trauma and biohazard-sensitive cleaning, safe sharps removal, garden and communal-area cleaning, and the removal or clearance of contents. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate competent, suitably qualified staff and provide the names and qualifications of personnel assigned to the work. Reliable operational capacity is important because the requirement combines an ongoing service with ad-hoc jobs. Contractors must also have the systems and discipline to take completion photographs, meet formal performance indicators and deliver work consistently. The buyer expects tangible community benefits specifically focused on Inverclyde, with delivery timescales proposed for each benefit.
