## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council procured short-term cleaning services for 29 properties across its estate. The sites include adult services and Children’s Trust properties, family hubs, libraries, country parks and the William Knibb Centre. The requirement supports the continued cleaning of public-facing and operational buildings used by residents and council services. Delivery is in North Northamptonshire, England. The work is classified as cleaning services (CPV 90910000).

The procurement is complete and has been directly awarded to SOLO SERVICE GROUP LIMITED. The Council used a direct award to maintain critical cleaning while a compliant procurement process was concluded, citing the importance of safe operation and the risks of interruption to services. The award value is £209,571 excluding VAT (£251,481 including VAT). The tender description says the contract commenced on 1 August 2026 for eight months; the award records a period from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The written contract had been signed before publication of the award information. The requirement was one lot, and the award is pending in the published data. No evaluation criteria are stated.

For cleaning businesses, this award demonstrates demand from North Northamptonshire Council for continuity of service across a varied estate of 29 operational and public-facing sites, including buildings serving vulnerable residents. A credible competitor would need the capacity to organise and sustain cleaning across adult and children’s services, family hubs, libraries, country parks and a council centre, while maintaining safe, reliable operations. The Council’s stated reason for this award was to avoid disruption while a compliant procurement was concluded, making dependable mobilisation and uninterrupted service delivery central commercial considerations for this requirement. The successful supplier is a large service group, providing an indication of the scale of provider selected, but the procurement does not set out specific accreditations, staffing levels or technical qualifications.

## Notice

Continued provision for cleaning of 29 properties which includes Adults services, Children's Trust properties, Family hubs, Libraries, Country Parks and William Knibb Centre. The contract commenced on 1 August 2026 and has a duration of 8 months. Due to delays in the contract drafting and execution process, the UK6 Contract Award Notice could not be published on the contract commencement date. The notice is therefore being published at the earliest available opportunity. In the interests of transparency, the written contract has now been signed by both the Council and the awarded supplier prior to publication of this notice. The Council acknowledges the delay in publication and is providing this explanation to maintain an open and transparent procurement record.

### Procurement Information
