Framework Description
West Lothian Council is proposing to tender a new multi-supplier framework for cleaning bus shelters across its nine ward areas. A multi-supplier arrangement means the council can appoint more than one cleaning firm to keep shelters clean and presentable across the district.
Context & Use Case
Bus shelters are part of the council's public transport infrastructure and need regular cleaning to stay usable and safe. A multi-supplier framework covering all nine wards gives the council more than one appointed cleaner to call on, so it can spread work across the district rather than relying on a single contractor.

Who Can Apply
Suits cleaning contractors and local firms able to service street furniture across West Lothian. The framework is not yet tendered, so firms get on by bidding when the council publishes the tender.
Buyer Benefits
Several suppliers give the council resilience and local response across a large area. Clean, well-kept shelters support bus use and public confidence, so buyers will value reliable schedules and quick response to reports. Buyers also value clear reporting of shelters cleaned and defects found.
Next Steps
Watch West Lothian Council's bus stops and shelters page and its procurement pages for the tender. Prepare your approach to cleaning schedules, equipment, working safely at roadside locations and reporting. Decide how many ward areas you can cover and gather evidence of similar street cleaning work.
