## Summary

Leicester City Council is planning to procure general and specialist cleaning services for its operations in Leicester. The requirement covers cleaning work as a service, including both routine general cleaning and more specialised cleaning activity. The procurement is being led by Leicester City Council, a local public authority, and is intended to support the council’s service and facilities needs. The published scope is classified as cleaning services. This is a single-service requirement rather than a collection of separately described goods or construction works. It should therefore be relevant to cleaning contractors that can provide general cleaning alongside specialist cleaning services for a public-sector client in Leicester. The council is seeking provision under one planned lot, with small and medium-sized enterprises identified as suitable participants.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Leicester City Council has announced its intention to procure, but it is not yet an invitation to tender. The council expects to use an open procedure for a services contract above the applicable threshold. The estimated value is £4,700,000 excluding VAT, or £5,640,000 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with the potential for renewal or extension up to 31 January 2032. The council expects the next notice to be published on 1 October 2026. There is one planned lot, covering the general and specialist cleaning services requirement. The lot is marked as suitable for SMEs, and renewal is contemplated.

The procurement is likely to suit established cleaning contractors with the operational capability to deliver both general and specialist cleaning services for a local authority. Suppliers should prepare to demonstrate that they can organise staff, supervision, equipment and quality control across a public-sector service requirement, although the planning information does not yet set out detailed technical, staffing or accreditation conditions. The single-lot structure may allow an SME with sufficient capacity to pursue the whole requirement rather than requiring separate bids for different service areas. Businesses that already deliver commercial, civic or other large-scale cleaning contracts may be well placed to assess the requirement when the tender is issued. Specialist cleaning providers may also be relevant where they can provide the general service alongside their specialist expertise.
