The contract, facilitated through an open procedure, focuses on cleaning and sanitation services, spanning multiple council locations. The procurement process concluded with a contract award dated 1st January 2026, which is set to run until 31st December 2027 with potential extensions reaching up to two additional years. The contract has a significant value of over £3.6 billion GBP. The procurement stages have evolved from initial planning in March 2025, through the tender phase in August 2025, and the subsequent contract award in January 2026. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the cleaning services industry, particularly those with the capacity to handle large-scale contracts as characterised by "The Mount Charles Group Limited" who secured the contract. Companies with experience in comprehensive cleaning and sanitation operations, possibly large enterprises or SMEs aiming for expansion, could find significant business growth potential by engaging in such public procurement processes. The structured renewal options within the contract also suggest opportunities for businesses to build lasting relationships with public entities, aligning service delivery with the Council's quality and social value expectations. ## Notice The Council wishes to appoint a suitable contractor for the provision of cleaning services at designated Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council premises as listed in the provided tender documentation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Contract allows for 2 extension periods of 1 year each ### Planning Information LCCC engaged with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process.
