The work covers stairwells, corridors, lifts, bin stores, entrances and surrounding external areas. Services must be resident-focused and include regular inspections, reporting defects, hazards and anti-social behaviour, safe handling of waste and sharps, and compliance with health and safety, safeguarding, data protection and performance requirements. This is a building and communal-area cleaning services opportunity, managed for Populo Living by SEC Procurement Limited, trading as South East Consortium. The requirement is suitable for cleaning businesses able to deliver consistent services across multiple residential sites while maintaining effective communication with residents and the housing provider. The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It uses a three-stage process involving written submissions, cost proposals and interviews. The deadline for enquiries was 23 September 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for tenders is 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 8 January 2027 to 7 January 2030, with a one-year renewal option extending the maximum period to 7 January 2031. A single lot is evaluated on quality and cost: quality carries 60%, comprising 50% for the written submission and 10% for interviews, while cost carries 40%. The anticipated award decision date is 24 November 2026. This opportunity suits established commercial or housing-sector cleaning contractors with the operational capacity to service communal areas across a residential property portfolio. Suppliers should be able to organise both planned routines and reactive responses, inspect completed work, identify and report defects, hazards and anti-social behaviour, and manage waste and sharps safely. Strong resident-facing communication is important, as is the ability to evidence reliable service performance and quality control. Bidders should also be prepared to demonstrate robust health and safety, safeguarding and data protection arrangements, together with processes for monitoring compliance and reporting performance. The evaluation gives quality greater weight than cost, so suppliers able to present a clear written service approach and perform well at interview will be well placed. ## Notice Populo Living require a contractor for the following requirements; To deliver planned and reactive communal cleaning services across Populo Living's residential properties, including stairwells, corridors, lifts, bin stores, entrances and surrounding external areas.
