## Summary

Viewpoint Housing Association intends to procure communal cleaning services for its social housing developments in Edinburgh, including more than 40 developments and the association’s main office. The scope includes cleaning communal areas and window cleaning. This is a public-sector housing and community amenities service requirement, classified under CPV 90911000 for building, window and accommodation cleaning. The work is for a housing association acting as the buyer and central purchasing body. Suppliers would need to provide a managed cleaning service across multiple social housing locations, covering shared residential spaces as well as office premises. The requirement is service-based rather than for goods, construction or refurbishment, and should suit established commercial cleaning providers with the operational reach to serve a dispersed housing portfolio.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Viewpoint Housing Association has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The current plan is for one open, single-stage lot. The estimated total value is £325,000, including the full planned requirement. The buyer expects to publish the next notice on 2 November 2026. That is an indicative publication date, not a deadline for submitting a response. The procurement is expected to be covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and will use a services contract for communal and window cleaning. The planned process is therefore a single competition rather than a multi-stage selection exercise, with the detailed tender requirements to follow when the procurement reaches the market.

This will suit cleaning companies that already deliver communal-area and window-cleaning services for housing associations, property managers or other organisations with multiple sites. Suppliers should prepare to demonstrate reliable staffing, supervision and quality control across more than 40 social housing developments and a main office. Relevant experience in cleaning shared residential areas, maintaining safe access for residents and coordinating work across occupied properties is likely to be valuable. Providers with established scheduling, inspection and issue-reporting systems should be well placed when the requirement reaches the market. The scope may also suit a larger cleaning contractor or a capable specialist partnership able to combine routine communal cleaning with window-cleaning expertise. There is no current invitation to bid; this is a procurement to monitor and prepare for.
