## Summary

South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council are seeking cleaning services for their council requirements in Devon, England. The procurement follows the planned expiry of the existing cleaning contract and is intended to provide a replacement service. The work is classified as cleaning services (CPV 90910000). The councils serve residents across a largely rural and coastal area, and the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The listed delivery location is Devon; the councils are based in Totnes and Tavistock.

The councils invited offers through an open competition. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The single lot has an estimated value of £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). Questions were due by 13 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and bids by 20 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by a further 12 months, to 31 March 2030. Evaluation is weighted 60% on price and 40% on quality. Participants must complete Volume 2, the PSQ, and submit bids through Volume 3, the ITT; failure to meet mandatory requirements makes a bid non-compliant and excludes it from further evaluation.

This opportunity may suit cleaning contractors, including smaller businesses, able to deliver the required council cleaning service across Devon. The stated evaluation gives price a greater weighting than quality, while still assigning quality a substantial share of the assessment. Suppliers should be prepared to complete the PSQ and provide evidence that they meet its mandatory requirements, then submit a compliant bid through the ITT. The contract requires delivery over a multi-year period, with the possibility of an additional year, so bidders should be able to sustain service delivery throughout the contract term. No particular cleaning specialisms, accreditations, staffing levels or prior experience are identified in the stated requirements.
