## Summary

The London Borough of Redbridge is planning two related service appointments: one cleaning services provider and one grounds maintenance provider. The cleaning contractor will clean the council’s corporate estates and provide soft facilities management services across various locations in the borough. The grounds maintenance contractor will deliver comprehensive grounds maintenance services for the council. The planned work is based in the London Borough of Redbridge, with market engagement taking place at Ilford Town Hall. This is a services procurement, covering cleaning and sanitation, grounds maintenance, and associated cleaning products and facilities support. Businesses operating in either service area may therefore find the planned procurement relevant, including those able to deliver one specialist service rather than both.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to appoint two experienced providers, with one provider for cleaning and soft facilities management and another for grounds maintenance. The indicative contract period is 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with renewal possible until 30 June 2032. The estimated total value is £4.4 million including tax. The council expects the next notice to be published on 12 February 2027. It is running preliminary market engagement, with interested parties expected to submit their interest by 25 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned procurement is above the relevant threshold.

The planned work should suit established cleaning contractors, facilities management providers, grounds maintenance businesses, and partnerships or subcontracting teams that can demonstrate relevant experience and operational capacity. Cleaning specialists will need to combine routine cleaning with soft facilities management across multiple council corporate-estate locations. Grounds maintenance specialists will need to provide a comprehensive service across council-managed sites. The council has indicated that it is seeking experienced providers and expects separate appointments, so a business can prepare around either service rather than needing to cover the full scope. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, supporting preparation by organisations of different sizes and ownership models.

## Notice

The London Borough of Redbridge is inviting interested Cleaning Services providers, and Grounds Maintenance Service providers to attend a Market Engagement programme at its Ilford Town Hall. The Authority will be seeking to appoint two experience providers for the services mentioned above. The successful cleaning service provider will provide cleaning services and also provide Soft Facilities Management Services (SFMS) for its corporate estates in various locations within the borough.
