## Summary

Cherwell District Council is procuring accommodation cleaning services for its housing portfolio. The requirement covers the routine cleaning and maintenance of internal communal areas, together with void cleans between occupancies, to a high standard. The work is managed by the Council’s Housing Management Team and is to be delivered across properties in Banbury and Bicester. This is a services contract for a cleaning contractor able to undertake both ongoing communal-area cleaning and individual property cleans when homes become vacant. The procurement is described as a Housing Cleaning Request for Proposal and includes accommodation cleaning services under CPV code 90911100. Suppliers whose normal work includes social housing, residential blocks, communal facilities or void property cleaning should find the scope relevant.

The process has reached tender: Cherwell District Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It covers one lot and the contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The estimated value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £100,000 including VAT. Enquiries were due by 31 August 2026 at 23:00, and offers were due by 8 September 2026 at 16:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The Council intended to award the contract to a supplier whose compliant response represented overall best value, considering quality, total price and value for money. It reserved the right not to make an award under the process.

This opportunity suits established cleaning businesses able to provide a consistent service across housing properties in Banbury and Bicester. Suppliers need the operational capability to maintain internal communal areas to the required standard while also responding to void-cleaning requirements between tenancies. The scope favours contractors comfortable delivering both planned recurring work and property-specific cleans, with the organisation and workforce needed to cover a housing portfolio rather than a single site. Businesses serving residential accommodation, social housing or managed property portfolios may be well placed to respond, provided they can demonstrate a compliant proposal and explain how they will deliver quality and value for money. The evaluation expressly considers quality as well as price, so service controls and delivery arrangements are commercially important.
