Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council’s Neighbourhood Environmental Services Street Cleansing team procured high-pressure jet-washing street-cleaning services. The work covers street cleansing activity in Edinburgh and falls within the services category, classified under CPV 90611000 for street-cleaning services. The council is the public-sector buyer and service user. The requirement was arranged as a single package through Fusion 21’s Grounds Maintenance Framework. The scope is focused on specialist pressure-washing services rather than general grounds maintenance, so it is most relevant to contractors with equipment, trained operatives and experience delivering cleaning work in public streets and other council-managed environments. The selected supplier, Ramora Limited, is based in Lichfield and is recorded as an SME.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The council made a direct award without publishing a prior call for competition, using the Fusion 21 Grounds Maintenance Framework. One supplier was selected: Ramora Limited. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £400,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement record states that the council intended to compete these services within a 12-month timeframe to facilitate a competitive process. One bid was recorded, including one SME bid and one electronic bid. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. No separate award date or contract end date is recorded in the process.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Edinburgh Council’s demand for high-pressure jet-washing within its street-cleansing service. A credible future competitor would need to deliver specialist pressure-washing safely and reliably across public streets in Edinburgh, with suitable vehicles, jet-washing equipment, trained operational staff and the capacity to respond to the council’s environmental-services requirements. Experience of municipal street cleaning or comparable public-realm work would strengthen its position. Suppliers would also need to understand framework-based public procurement and be able to qualify for, or work through, an appropriate compliant framework route. The successful award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist contractor rather than only a large national provider.
