## Summary

South Ayrshire Council procured services to steam-clean Main Street in Prestwick and remove chewing gum from the street surface. This is an environmental and public-realm cleaning requirement, delivered in Prestwick, South Ayrshire. The work falls within street-cleaning services (CPV 90611000) and is classed as a service procurement. The council acted as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement was arranged as a single lot covering both steam cleaning and chewing-gum removal. It is relevant to contractors providing specialist pressure, steam or pavement-cleaning services, particularly those able to remove embedded chewing gum from busy town-centre streets while maintaining a safe and presentable public environment. The named service location is Main Street, Prestwick.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. William Halliday was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 for £25,530. South Ayrshire Council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, stating that the procurement value fell outside the scope of the applicable regulations. One bid was received, submitted electronically; the published statistics record no SME bid. The award covers the combined steam-cleaning and chewing-gum-removal service for Main Street, Prestwick. The procurement was evaluated through this direct limited route rather than an open competition. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award confirms a specific local-authority demand for specialist town-centre pavement cleaning and chewing-gum removal in Prestwick. Suppliers considering similar work for South Ayrshire Council would need suitable steam-cleaning or equivalent specialist equipment, effective methods for removing bonded chewing gum, and the operational capacity to work safely in a public street environment. Practical experience in street cleansing, hard-surface treatment and managing pedestrian-facing work would strengthen credibility. Contractors should also be able to plan site attendance, control equipment and residues, protect surrounding surfaces, and leave the area clean and safe. The procurement attracted one electronic bid, so a future credible competitor would need a clear, reliable delivery approach and the capacity to meet the council’s combined cleaning requirement.
