## Summary

Audit Scotland is procuring office cleaning services for its Edinburgh office at Westport and its Glasgow office at Nelson Mandela Place. The requirement covers cleaning provision for both buildings under one agreement with a single supplier. This is a services contract for businesses able to plan, staff and manage routine commercial cleaning across two office locations. The service will replace the existing cleaning arrangement for the buildings and support the continued operation and upkeep of Audit Scotland’s offices. Suppliers should therefore be equipped to deliver a coordinated service across Edinburgh and Glasgow, with consistent standards, supervision and service management at both sites.

The process reached tender: Audit Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender closing deadline was 15 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were due to remain valid until 1 April 2027. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 30 March 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a potential maximum duration of 48 months. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical quality and 30% price, and variants are not allowed. Selection includes specific turnover for the last three financial years, a current-assets-to-total-assets ratio of at least 0.7, and insurance of £2 million professional indemnity, £10 million employers’ liability and £5 million public liability.

This opportunity suits established commercial cleaning contractors able to deliver and supervise services in both Edinburgh and Glasgow through one coordinated contract. Bidders need relevant business turnover across the last three fiscal years, sound financial standing demonstrated by the required current-assets ratio, and the capacity to maintain service delivery across two offices. They must hold, or commit to obtain before contract commencement, professional indemnity, employers’ liability and public liability insurance at the required levels. Suppliers using subcontractors must identify them, explain their roles and state the approximate proportion of work subcontracted. The requirement is well suited to providers with multi-site office-cleaning experience, reliable staffing arrangements and robust operational controls.
