## Summary

National Records of Scotland procured temporary office cleaning services for its premises in Edinburgh. The requirement covered temporary cleaning of offices and was arranged as a single service lot. This is a facilities management and commercial cleaning opportunity, classified under CPV 90919200 for office cleaning services. The buying organisation is a Scottish public body responsible for national records and acts as a central purchasing body. The work is associated with National Records of Scotland’s Edinburgh operations, including its General Register House location. Businesses relevant to this requirement are office-cleaning contractors able to provide short-term or temporary cleaning services in Edinburgh and meet public-sector service expectations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Criffel Cleaning Services Ltd. The contract is active, with a value of £2,071.56, and was signed on 4 August 2026. It covered one lot for temporary office cleaning. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. National Records of Scotland stated that the estimated requirement was approximately £2,000, below the level requiring formal competitive quotations under its procedures. The supplier was selected for its ability to meet the requirement, experience delivering similar services and overall value for money. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The contract included options to extend for further one-month periods, up to a maximum of 12 months.

This award shows demand from National Records of Scotland for responsive, short-term office-cleaning support in Edinburgh. The selected supplier was judged able to meet the practical requirement, had experience delivering similar cleaning services and offered reasonable value for money. A credible competitor for a future requirement would therefore need reliable temporary staffing, the capacity to mobilise quickly for office premises, and demonstrable experience in comparable commercial or public-sector cleaning work. Evidence of consistent service quality, suitable operating arrangements and cost control would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award to an SME also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist cleaning business rather than only a large national facilities-management provider.
