The procurement, executed through an open procedure, resulted in the award of the contract to CITY CLEAN (NORTHERN) LIMITED on 22nd July 2026, with the contract commencing on 1st September 2026 and running until 31st August 2028, with options to extend for an additional two years. The procurement focused on window-cleaning services under the industry classification of "Accommodation, building and window cleaning services," and was part of a wider government initiative managed by a public authority within the sub-central government category. The entire contracting process included stages such as planning, tender, and awarding, all of which contribute to the transparent procurement framework adhered to by the Council. This procurement opportunity fosters significant business growth, particularly for enterprises inclined towards facility management services, specifically those in the window cleaning sector. The open procurement method underscores an inclusive contract environment, making it highly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that offer professional cleaning services. Engaging in this contract allows businesses to strengthen their portfolio by associating with a public sector authority, thereby enhancing their market credibility and visibility.
