BACKGROUND TO NPH Northamptonshire Partnership Homes (NPH) are an arm’s length management organisation, formed in January 2015 that manages over 11,500 homes on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC). Currently, NPH is a wholly owned subsidiary of WNC, a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) and a not-for-profit organisation. This means that our income is put back into providing housing, housing related service, and supporting the communities we work in. However, bidders should note that following a decision taken by WNC in November 2025, the services undertaken by NPH will be transitioned back under direct control of the Council. The current completion date for the transition of all services from NPH to the Council is by April 2027, it is therefore important for bidders to note that this contract will be initially entered into by NPH, but at some point, it is anticipated that this contract will be novated to WNC in conjunction with the transfer of NPH’s own staff and service functions that this contract supports. PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE NPH is undertaking early market engagement to inform the development of a forthcoming procurement for estate cleaning services across its property portfolio.

Included within the contract is office cleaning for the main NPH Office situated in Northampton, together with 18 Community Hubs. The current cleaning arrangements are due for review with the contract expiring on 30th November 2026 so we are exploring options as to how this future requirement may be delivered, and to understand the current market. The future contract may be outcome or frequency based and may include: •Routine internal and external cleaning of communal areas •Periodic deep cleaning •Litter picking and waste management support •Graffiti removal •Responsive cleaning tasks OBJECTIVES OF THE ENGAGEMENT NPH would like to engage with suppliers experienced in delivering estate cleaning services within residential or mixed-tenure housing environments, and including feedback on service delivery models, resident satisfaction approaches, social value delivery, environmental sustainability, technological innovation, workforce management, risk mitigation, and cost considerations.

NPH will be engaging with its customers to establish the level of service they require in respect of their cleaning service & the value of money that is considered meets the needs of our customers. SCOPE OF FUTURE PROCUREMENT While no final decisions have been made, NPH anticipates that the future tender will include a contract term of between 3–5 years, with potential extension options.
