## Summary

Epping Forest District Council has procured comprehensive cleaning and window-cleaning services for its operational and commercial properties. The work covers annual cleaning at the Civic Offices, Oakwood Hill Depot, Townmead Depot and Ongar public toilets, as well as emergency cleaning across all sites and ad hoc area cleaning. Annual window cleaning is required at the Civic Offices and Oakwood Hill Depot. The purpose is to provide clean, attractive environments for council staff and visitors. This is a facilities cleaning service, within the broader cleaning and sanitation category (CPV 90900000). The recorded delivery location is Epping, Essex.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Ideal Cleaning Services Ltd. Epping Forest District Council made the award on 24 September 2026. The awarded value is £713,775.84. The contract runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with two possible one-year extensions. The council selected a supplier through a call-off from a framework agreement, using a selective procedure. The original tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements are recorded in the procurement information.

For cleaning contractors, this award shows that Epping Forest District Council buys a bundled service combining scheduled building and toilet cleaning, window cleaning, emergency response and ad hoc area work. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to manage recurring cleaning across several council sites while also providing the flexibility to respond to urgent and variable work. The scope calls for both general premises cleaning and window-cleaning capability, with annual work at designated buildings and coverage across all sites for emergencies. The council used a framework call-off route, so relevant experience supplying public-sector cleaning through an established framework would be commercially pertinent. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller providers were considered capable of competing for this scale of service.
