The service would support patients whose homes need clearing, cleaning or environmental work before they can return safely and accessibly. Requirements may include cleaning linked to self-neglect, hoarding, infestation or contamination, and making entrances, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and living spaces safe and accessible. Suppliers would also need to handle personal possessions sensitively and take a person-centred approach that protects dignity, recognising links between property condition, health, disability, mental health, reduced mobility and financial or social circumstances. The service would cover properties in the UKF22 area, corresponding to Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire, and is classified as accommodation and building-cleaning services. This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently market engagement, not an invitation to tender. The Council expects to publish a subsequent notice on 1 October 2026. Suppliers are being asked to complete a questionnaire through the ProContract e-procurement portal by 24 September 2026 at 12 noon; this is an engagement response date, not a tender deadline. The planned procedure is a tender, with an open procurement method expected. One lot is planned. The indicative contract period is 1 December 2026 to 31 December 2029. The stated estimated gross value is £0, with the currency recorded as GBP. The procurement is marked above the applicable threshold. The planned service is suited to specialist cleaning, clearance, environmental remediation and property-accessibility providers, including small and medium-sized enterprises. Relevant suppliers should be able to respond rapidly and flexibly to urgent referrals, including work at short notice, weekends and bank holidays. Experience of self-neglect, hoarding, infestation, contamination or similarly sensitive domestic environments would be useful, alongside the ability to make homes safe across multiple rooms and access points. Providers should be equipped to protect, sort and handle personal possessions respectfully, and to work with people affected by poor health, disability, mental health issues or reduced mobility. A person-centred service that safeguards dignity and works with health, social care and housing partners will be important. ## Notice Blaby District Council working in partnership with health, adult social care and wider system partners recognised that unsuitable conditions at home can cause significant barriers to hospital discharge. For some patients, returning home is delayed because their property requires clearing, cleaning to reduce risks or complete environmental works before it is safe and accessible for them to return home. The HET supports patients where there is any housing related issue that is preventing or delaying their discharge from hospital. A specialist clear and clean service can play a key role in reducing hospital delays by ensuring those housing related barriers are addressed as quickly and as sensitively as possible. There would need to be a responsive and flexible approach including urgent short notice, weekend and bank holiday assistance. Blaby District Council seeks to understand how the market could support the delivery of the specialist clear and clean service and the range of property interventions they are able to provide, including: * Cleaning linked to self-neglect, hoarding, infestation or contamination. * Making key areas of the home safe and accessible including entrances, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living spaces. * Sensitive handling of personal possessions. Blaby District Council has recognised that property condition is often related to wider issues such as poor health, disability, mental health, reduced mobility, financial and social issues and therefore any service should include a person-centred approach to ensure that dignity is protected. The Council is seeking the views of suppliers to assist in the design and running of this service through a soft market engagement questionnaire.
