Framework for Corporate Cleaning Services Lots 1 5
Framework Description
City and County of Swansea's Corporate Cleaning Services framework covers specialist and routine cleaning across five lots, from carpet and upholstery cleaning to the Quadrant Bus Station and public toilets. It runs until 30 April 2027, with options to extend by up to 36 months in total to 30 April 2030. The Find a Tender notice reference is 024328-2026.
Context & Use Case
Swansea's facilities and transport teams use it to keep high-footfall public sites clean and safe. That includes daily and out-of-hours cleaning at the city's main bus station, window cleaning on corporate buildings, and routine and seasonal cleaning of public conveniences. Lots are split by site and task, so each service is contracted with a specialist.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Upholstery and carpet cleaning Lot 2: Corporate window cleaning Lot 3: Quadrant Bus Station daily and out-of-hours cleaning Lot 4: Bus station window cleaning Lot 5: Public convenience routine and seasonal cleaning
Lots
Lot 1 - Upholstery and carpet cleaning; Lot 2 - Corporate window cleaning; Lot 3 - Quadrant Bus Station daily/out-of-hours cleaning; Lot 4 - Bus station window cleaning; Lot 5 - Public convenience routine and seasonal cleaning
Who Can Apply
Commercial cleaning contractors, window cleaning firms and specialist carpet and upholstery cleaners serving Swansea. The framework is live and applications are closed, so new suppliers must wait for the re-tender. That could come around 30 April 2027, or later if the Council uses its extension options.
Buyer Benefits
Site-specific lots give the Council specialists for difficult settings such as a busy bus station and public toilets, where standards are visible to residents. Set specifications for cleaning frequency and out-of-hours work make performance easy to measure. Extension options of up to three years also let the Council keep good contractors without re-procuring.
Next Steps
Appointed contractors should keep inspection records and complaint response data, as these will support any extension. Others should watch for the re-tender, which may come around 30 April 2027, or up to 30 April 2030 if extended. Prepare evidence of public-facing cleaning contracts, staff vetting, COSHH and out-of-hours supervision.
