In plain English

Community Gateway Association, a housing body in Preston, wants one contractor to clean its head office and around 17 housing sites, including communal areas, offices, washrooms and windows. The contract is worth about £370,000 a year including VAT, runs for 3 years from June 2027, and can be extended by up to 2 more years.

What the buyer wants

• Regular cleaning of communal areas, offices and washrooms, plus window cleaning inside and out, floor cleaning and maintenance, litter picking, and restocking of consumables • Periodic deep cleans, emergency or reactive cleaning call-outs, and safe disposal of hazardous waste from washroom and hygiene services • Delivery of high-quality service, high customer satisfaction, value for money, and tangible social value across all listed locations

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice requires a single provider to cover all 18 locations across Preston and the surrounding area for about £370,000 a year, which may be out of reach for a small firm without the capacity to run a multi-site contract, though the notice does not state any turnover, insurance or experience thresholds.
