Clarion Void and Sparkle Cleaning Tender (National)

In brief

Clarion Housing Group is looking for suppliers for building maintenance and cleaning work (London).

It is a framework worth up to £4,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 1 year, up to 34 months with extensions, starting 4 January 2027.

It is split into 12 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Bids close at 5pm, Friday 30 October 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
