## Summary

Cambridge City Council is undertaking a procurement process to secure building cleaning services for various council buildings and public toilets across Cambridge. The procurement falls under the services category and is detailed through two distinct lots: Lot 1 covers administration, commercial buildings, community centres, and operational buildings, while Lot 2 focuses on public toilets. The initial contract term is three years, starting from 31st March 2024, with possible extensions making a total possible duration of up to seven years. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing for electronic submissions until 2nd January 2024, with an assessment split of 40% price and 60% quality.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in cleaning services, especially those capable of managing large-scale operations across multiple types of facilities. The potential extension of up to seven years can provide long-term business stability and growth. The split into two lots allows both specialised and generalists cleaning firms to tailor their bids accordingly. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to compete, given the number of SMEs that have successfully bid in similar past tenders. Participating in such a substantial public contract can enhance business credibility, expand the client base, and secure steady revenue streams.
