Exterior Cleaning Tenders and Contracts

Exterior cleaning covers facade cleaning, stonework and masonry cleaning, graffiti removal and gutter clearance carried out on the outside of a building. Some contracts include minor repair work alongside the cleaning.

Stotles brings together exterior cleaning tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Exterior cleaning is often let as a lot inside specialised cleaning or building maintenance frameworks, so look for it within those notices as well as under its own title.

Exterior cleaning at height must follow the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and work on listed buildings needs the right consents and conservation methods. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Exterior cleaning contracts are procured through open tenders, direct awards and framework call-offs. Buyers set out the access equipment, safety requirements and any listed-building constraints in the tender pack.

Councils, housing associations, universities and other public bodies buy exterior cleaning services to maintain their building stock. Contracts can cover a single site or a whole property portfolio.

Read estates maintenance programmes, heritage building conservation plans, campus facade programmes and expiry dates for existing cleaning contracts, which show 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.
