## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council commissioned specialist street-cleaning services for Abington Street in Northampton. The work covers professional cleaning of newly laid granite paving, including removal of spills and stains such as oil and chewing gum. The paving is then to be coated with a sealant to protect it against future staining and make subsequent cleaning easier. The associated contract title also refers to cleaning Fish Street, with Fish Street receiving cleaning only rather than the full clean-and-seal treatment. This is a public-sector urban paving maintenance requirement, relevant to contractors providing hard-surface cleaning, stain removal and protective sealing services for streets, public realm schemes and newly installed stone paving.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Quality Surface Solutions Ltd T.A. Stone Cleaning Specialist Ltd, a Bedford-based SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 6 August 2026. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 30 August 2026, with a maximum extension date of 30 November 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. Renewal is permitted where weather, including rain or cold, delays progress, or other unforeseen conditions prevent street cleaning, such as restrictions on using water. The award is active and the contract is active.

This requirement demonstrates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for practical, specialist maintenance of newly laid granite paving in a town-centre setting. A credible competitor for comparable work would need equipment and trained staff capable of removing oil, chewing gum, spills and other ingrained staining without damaging stone surfaces. It would also need to apply a suitable protective sealant consistently, manage cleaning and sealing as a coordinated service, and respond to weather-related disruption or restrictions on water use. Experience of street cleaning, public-realm paving or hard-surface restoration would help demonstrate competence. The scale suits a specialist SME able to mobilise locally, protect finished surfaces and deliver short-duration works safely and reliably.
