Summary of the contracting process

Molendinar Park Housing Association Limited is seeking a contractor to clean external shared areas at around 87 occupied homes in Glasgow, in the G31, G40 and G45 areas. The regular work covers stairs and landings, close windows, bin stores, entrances, pathways and office or common-room windows; an annual deep clean of stairs and landings is an option. The contractor must provide cleaning materials, safe temporary access, communications and quality-control monitoring. The requirement also includes separately priced one-off or ad-hoc services: power washing, wheelie-bin cleaning, deck scrubbing, cleaning and disposal of bodily fluids, excrement or guano, floor and stair sealing, graffiti removal, sharps disposal, voids clearance and bulk uplift. This is a cleaning services contract for housing common areas.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening scheduled for 14:00 that day. The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028; the buyer may extend it annually, at its discretion, up to 31 March 2032. Evaluation combines quality and price: Contractor Design Proposals account for 70% and price for 30%. The SPD applies minimum selection standards on a pass-or-fail basis; only submissions that pass proceed to quality and price evaluation. Quality submissions are scored against the buyer’s requirements, while price scoring is set relative to the lowest tender. Tenderers must use the stated submission requirements, and variants are not allowed.

This opportunity suits commercial cleaning contractors able to deliver recurring communal-area cleaning across a dispersed portfolio of occupied homes, while maintaining safe access and communicating with residents or the housing association. Suppliers need to provide their own cleaning materials and demonstrate an organised approach to quality control, including monitoring forms. The rated additional services may favour businesses with the staff, equipment and procedures to handle pressure washing, bin cleaning, bulk uplift and void clearances, as well as sensitive work involving bodily fluids, excrement, guano or sharps. Bidders must prepare Contractor Design Proposals that address the employer’s stated requirements and meet the minimum selection standards in the SPD. Community benefits are part of the requirement; their expected form is set out in the specification. The contract is suited to a provider capable of sustained service delivery and potential annual extensions.
