## Summary

The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority has successfully completed the contracting process for the bi-annual deep cleaning of their kitchen facilities, with South Tyneside Council being awarded the contract. The tender was conducted under an open procurement method, and the project falls within the services category, specifically cleaning services. The contract commenced on 1st December 2025 and will run until 30th November 2027, with a provision for renewal extending up to November 2029. The procurement process was initiated to ensure the efficient operational delivery of fire and rescue services across the Tyne and Wear region, emphasising resilience and emergency response capabilities. The procurement was concluded on 17th December 2025, following the tender stage that ended with an open competition below the threshold.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for organisations with expertise in specialised cleaning services, particularly those capable of handling public sector duties. Businesses that are experienced in large-scale operations would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts given the scale and nature of the required bi-annual kitchen cleanings. The involvement of South Tyneside Council underscores the potential for collaborations with large-scale operations within the public sector, thereby providing an entry point for other businesses aiming to expand their service offerings to government agencies. This contract highlights the importance of maintaining high standards in service delivery, offering growth opportunities for companies to showcase their quality and reliability in providing essential services to government bodies.
