## Summary

The procurement process for Bassetlaw District Council's initiative, titled "BADC-1426 Cleaning Contracts," concluded with a cancellation as of 11 November 2025. This tender involved providing cleaning services at key locations, including The Bridge Skills Hub, Retford Enterprise Centre, and Middletons Yard, all situated in the Worksop and Retford areas of the United Kingdom, within the East Midlands region (UKF15). The council, collaborating with Welland Procurement, initially launched an open procurement process to secure a contractor for maintaining cleanliness across these venues, with a total contract value estimated at £588,000. The procurement process transitioned from planning stages documented in July 2025 to tender activities, although it reached completion without awarding the contract.

This tender presented expansive opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in cleaning services. The open procurement procedure allowed competition across diverse businesses, favouring organisations familiar with routine, reactive, and periodic cleaning operations. With the specifications supporting involvement from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), this tender could have provided a substantial platform for companies looking to expand their public sector engagements. Despite the cancellation, understanding the requirements for strategic facility maintenance offers prospective insights for future procurement undertakings within public authority environments.
