## Summary

The Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited, operating under the procurement act of 2023, has initiated the planning stage for a tender titled "Preliminary Market Engagement - Building Cleaning Services 5." This engagement process precedes the retendering of the CPC Building Cleaning Services Framework and is aimed at optimising the framework for the UK Education Sector, extending also to the Wider Public Sector. Located in Salford, United Kingdom, the consortium plans to assess changes under the new legislation to design a modernised route to market. The deadline for initial market engagement is set for 16th April 2026, with the framework's detailed structure and schedule yet to be defined.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs specialising in cleaning services. With a focus on building cleaning, the absence of specified lots allows flexibility in approach, enabling a broad range of businesses to take part and propose innovative cleaning solutions tailored to public sector entities. As the contract period extends from January 2027 to January 2035, participating businesses have the prospect of securing long-term partnerships within this framework. Interested parties are encouraged to engage promptly in this preliminary market phase, being essential to shaping future procurement approaches and ensuring competitive eligibility for upcoming opportunities.
