Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland is buying comprehensive cleaning and associated services for its two premises in Scotland. The work covers routine, periodic and reactive cleaning, window cleaning, the supply of consumables and facilities support services. The contractor will maintain identified internal cleanable areas, including fixtures, fittings, furniture and finishes, with the aim of preserving the premises and maintaining high standards. This is a facilities cleaning service (CPV 90910000), rather than a purchase of cleaning products alone. The requirement is managed by Registers of Scotland, based in Edinburgh. The service must be delivered safely and efficiently across both sites and in accordance with the specification.

The buyer invited offers through a single-stage open tender. The submission deadline was 13 November 2026 at 11:00 UTC, following two one-week extensions; bids were to be submitted electronically. The contract is for 36 months, with options to extend in six- or twelve-month increments for up to a further 24 months. Its estimated value is £1.71 million excluding VAT for the initial term and £2.85 million excluding VAT if all extensions are used. This is one lot. Evaluation gives quality a 70% weighting and price 30%. Suppliers had to complete and submit the online Single Procurement Document alongside their tender. The advertised bid validity period was 90 days.

This opportunity suits a cleaning contractor able to manage a comprehensive, multi-site service spanning routine, periodic and reactive work, window cleaning, consumables and facilities support. The successful supplier must maintain a range of internal surfaces, fixtures, fittings and furniture while delivering safe, efficient work and consistently high standards. The specification and performance-monitoring requirements make service quality central to the competition, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate a strong delivery approach as well as competitive pricing. The procurement also includes a subcontracting clause and community benefits, with details set out in the tender materials. TUPE information is provided for bidders to assess workforce implications and plan mobilisation. The requirement is likely to favour suppliers with the operational capacity to coordinate teams and service delivery across two premises. No particular accreditation is stated in the published summary.
