OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is seeking window-cleaning services to meet its operational requirements, with an emphasis on reliable, cost-effective and high-quality delivery. The work is divided across four areas of Fife: Cupar and Northwest Fife; St Andrews and Northeast Fife; Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and Central Fife; and Dunfermline and West Fife. Suppliers can bid for any number of lots. The requirement is for a service rather than the purchase of equipment or construction work. Delivery is across the named Fife areas, so bidders should consider whether their teams and operating arrangements can cover the locations attached to the lots they choose. The contract is intended to provide the Council with window cleaning and associated services.

Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure, and the procurement reached the tender stage. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 2 December 2026 at 12:00. The contract period for each lot is 1,440 days. Each of the four lots is listed at an estimated value of £280,000; these are lot-level figures and should not be added together. Evaluation for each lot is weighted 70% on price and 30% on quality. Bids are to be submitted electronically, in English, and variants are not allowed. The procurement is structured as a framework agreement. The contract notice sets a bid validity period ending 1 February 2027. The buyer also indicates that community benefits may be offered voluntarily as part of a bid.

This opportunity is relevant to window-cleaning businesses able to deliver dependable, good-quality services across one or more of the four Fife areas. Suppliers can choose which lots to pursue, so local operators and firms with teams covering specific parts of Fife may find a suitable scope, while businesses with wider geographic coverage can consider multiple areas. The stated evaluation places greater weight on price than quality, so bidders need to present competitive pricing alongside a credible service offer. Community benefits are encouraged on a voluntary basis: examples include local employment or training, work experience, school or community engagement, environmental activity, and support for local initiatives. Any such offer should be relevant and proportionate, carry no additional cost to the Council, and may be monitored during contract management.
