## Summary

Cambridge City Council is initiating a public procurement process for bin cleaning services at its 13 sheltered housing schemes across Cambridge. The tender, titled "Sheltered Housing Bin Cleaning", falls under the services industry category, particularly focusing on bin-cleaning services. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions closing on 20 April 2026. This below-threshold, open-competition tender seeks to provide monthly bin cleaning between May and October to support the council's vision of enhancing life for older people residing in these sheltered housing schemes. The contract will be active from 4 May 2026 to 3 May 2028, with potential renewal options available.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in cleaning services to expand their business in the public sector. The contract is valued at £60,000, emphasizing quality with a 70% weight in the award criteria. Suitable businesses should be adept at providing high-standard cleaning services within the prescribed timeframe to foster long-term partnerships with municipal authorities. Moreover, firms capable of delivering consistent service quality while fostering innovation in lower-impact waste management solutions would find this tender especially beneficial for their business growth.

## Notice

Cambridge City Council has 13 Sheltered Housing schemes spread across the city, which provide housing and support to older people. Sheltered housing, is predominantly, for people aged over 60 who wish to carry on living independently but who require some support in order to do so. Our vision is to maximise opportunities for older people to live self-sufficiently by providing good quality accommodation. To provide support in line with individuals needs and to offer activities and social events helping prevent social isolation and to encourage active ageing. All schemes have their own arrangements for tenants to use communal bins to dispose of their waste. There are a combination of general waste bins and recycling bins at each site, and this contract is to provide the cleaning of each bin following it being emptied, on a monthly basis between May and October (inclusive).
