Cleaning Tenders and Contracts

See open Cleaning tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Cleaning procurement covers school and academy trust cleaning, office and corporate building cleaning, communal cleaning of housing blocks and sheltered schemes, and window and gutter cleaning. Void and reactive property cleaning, kitchen deep cleans, and cleaning of public conveniences, bus stations and railway stations also appear.

Cleaning contracts are often split into lots by school, site or region and run for several years with extension options, and larger estates often use the ESPO total cleaning framework, CPC's building cleaning framework or YPO's support services system. Academy trusts, schools, councils, housing associations, universities and NHS trusts are the regular buyers of cleaning services.

  • What kinds of cleaning contracts appear in UK procurement?

    Cleaning notices cover office and commercial cleaning, window cleaning, communal cleaning in social housing blocks, school cleaning, and more specialist work such as tank and pipe descaling under chemical cleaning contracts. Buyers range from local councils and NHS trusts to housing associations, universities and academy trusts, and lot sizes run from a single school site up to multi-year, multi-site frameworks.

  • Are cleaning contracts usually awarded through frameworks?

    Often, yes, alongside standalone tenders. Regional buying organisations run multi-lot cleaning frameworks that councils, housing associations and NHS bodies call off from directly, covering office, communal and window cleaning services across several sites. Joining the right framework can be a faster route to a call-off than winning a standalone tender.

  • What CPV codes cover cleaning tenders and contracts?

    The core code is 90910000 (Cleaning services), alongside 90911200 (Building-cleaning services) and 90911300 (Window-cleaning services), and 90919300 (School cleaning services). Notices often carry several of these at once, since one contract can cover general cleaning, window cleaning and office areas under a single specification.

  • Can small and medium cleaning businesses win public sector contracts?

    Yes. Plenty of cleaning contracts are sized for a single school, care home or office building rather than a national estate, and some notices explicitly invite bids from smaller providers alongside larger contractors. A three-year contract at a single academy or NHS building is a realistic entry point before bidding for the bigger, multi-site frameworks.

  • Which frameworks are used to buy cleaning services in the UK public sector?

    ESPO's total cleaning services solution framework is called off by academy trusts, schools and housing associations such as Peabody, which ran mini-competitions under it for office and community cleaning. The CPC building cleaning services framework serves further education colleges, sixth forms and academies, which call off from it for building cleaning.

    YPO's building in use support services dynamic purchasing system carries a cleaning and caretaking lot that academy trusts use to run further competitions for school cleaning. ESPO's washroom services framework is the route for washroom hygiene and sanitary waste, and councils such as Leicester City Council award contracts under it.

  • How do I find Cleaning contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read corporate strategies, service reviews, commissioning plans and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show Cleaning work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
