## Summary

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority intends to procure a cleaning and sanitation service for bus stations across the Liverpool City Region. The service will cover staff and public areas, maintaining clean, hygienic and safe facilities at specified bus station sites. The contractor will provide, service and commission cleaning staff, products and equipment. Staff will work as Facilities Assistants, a role extending beyond conventional site cleaning. Alongside cleanliness and hygiene duties, they will provide a reassuring presence for bus passengers and transport information when Combined Authority staff are not deployed on site. The procurement is categorised as services, with the main requirement classified under CPV 90900000, cleaning and sanitation services. The contract is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Combined Authority has stated its intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. It expects to issue the next notice by 30 November 2026. A market engagement site visit and presentation is planned for 17 September 2026, running from 10.00 to 14.00. The planned session includes a walk-through of Liverpool One Bus Station facilities, including bus stands, drivers’ layover areas and an office building, followed by a presentation and questions at Mann Island. Suppliers are expected to confirm attendance by 14 September 2026. The planned contract is one lot, with service delivery expected from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with extensions available until 31 March 2032. The buyer expects a three-year term with two one-year extensions.

The requirement is likely to suit an established facilities management or commercial cleaning contractor able to manage cleaning operations across multiple bus station sites. Suppliers should be prepared to provide and maintain a broad range of cleaning products and equipment, commission the required workforce and operate consistently across public and staff areas. The Facilities Assistant role requires more than routine cleaning: staff will need to maintain hygiene and safety standards while offering a visible, reassuring presence to passengers and providing transport information when authority staff are absent. The service will also require regular attendance at Combined Authority sites and meetings to maintain the expected service level. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable.

## Notice
