Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing (STAR Housing) is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to inform the proposed procurement of Cleaning Services across its housing stock, communal facilities and corporate premises throughout Shropshire. The proposed contract will cover a range of planned, routine, responsive and specialist cleaning services, including void property cleaning, environmental and deep cleaning, communal area cleaning, community facilities, sheltered and supported accommodation, office cleaning, biohazard cleaning, waste removal and needle sweep services. STAR Housing intends to appoint a single supplier to deliver the full scope of services under one contract. The proposed contract term is three (3) years, with the option to extend for up to two (2) additional years, subject to satisfactory performance. This engagement seeks to understand market capability, capacity and interest, and gather supplier feedback on the proposed service requirements, delivery arrangements and procurement approach. This is a preliminary market engagement exercise only and does not constitute a formal invitation to tender or a commitment by STAR Housing to proceed with a procurement.

Procurement Act 2023

Interested suppliers are invited to review the information provided and complete the attached Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire. Suppliers should submit their completed questionnaire through the engagement portal by the stated response deadline. Responses will be used to inform STAR Housing's understanding of market capability, capacity and potential delivery approaches, and to support the development of the proposed procurement. Participation is voluntary and does not constitute a tender submission. Participation or non-participation will not provide an advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement exercise.
