## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council procured works to clean and clear void properties so they meet lettable standards before being returned to use. The requirement covers properties in the Selby and Harrogate areas and was delivered by Orbis Protect Limited. The work is classed as construction work, but the practical requirement is property clearance and cleaning of empty homes. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that can prepare vacant residential properties for re-letting, including removing unwanted contents, carrying out cleaning and completing associated clearance works. Suppliers would need to operate in or service Selby and Harrogate and be able to meet the council’s standards for properties ready to let.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Orbis Protect Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated and placed without a competitive tender, so no scoring or award weighting is recorded in the procurement outcome. The award covers the void cleaning and clearance works for the Selby and Harrogate areas on behalf of The North Yorkshire Council.

This procurement shows that North Yorkshire Council uses external suppliers for preparing empty properties to a lettable standard, covering both cleaning and clearance rather than cleaning alone. A credible competitor for this requirement would need the capacity to handle vacant homes efficiently, remove unwanted materials and contents, clean properties thoroughly, and leave them ready for occupation. Experience in housing voids, property services or similar clearance and turnaround work would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to coordinate work across Selby and Harrogate, manage variable property conditions and deliver consistently against the council’s required lettable standard. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business.
