This procurement process is intended to cover the cleaning of 561 bus shelters across nine ward areas in West Lothian, UK, aiming to enhance public transport infrastructure. The framework is advantageous for maintaining and prolonging the lifespan of the shelters through planned annual or bi-annual cleaning. Essential dates include a tender briefing session set for 25 May 2026 and a future notice date slated for 22 June 2026. This tender creates a significant opportunity for businesses in the cleaning and maintenance sector, particularly those experienced in public infrastructure services. It is designed to facilitate competition among multiple suppliers, thus enabling small to medium-sized enterprises that specialise in cleaning services to participate and potentially secure a contract. Companies with expertise in public services, such as general cleaning and maintenance within local authorities, are well-suited to compete in this tendering process. The introduction of planned cyclical cleaning efforts will likely result in long-term contracts, incentivising businesses to engage in sustainable growth by increasing their portfolio with public sector work. ## Notice WLC are proposing to tender a new multi supplier framework for the provision of bus shelter cleaning across 9 ward areas within the area. ### Lot Information Lot 1 WLC are proposing to tender a new multi supplier framework for the provision of bus shelter cleaning across 9 ward areas within the area.
