## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is currently in the tender stage of re-procuring its Cleaning & Grounds Maintenance Framework Contract, previously established in 2023. This tender is intended to appoint a single provider to deliver a comprehensive cleaning and grounds maintenance service across various properties within Cambridgeshire, including routine and specialised cleaning as well as grounds maintenance activities. The procurement process, initiated on 1st July 2026, employs a competitive flexible procedure method and has a submission deadline for expressions of interest by 31st July 2026. Prospective providers will be shortlisted during the initial stage, leading to a final tender submission by November 2026, with contract commencement slated for April 2027.
