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

respect of their cleaning service & the value of money that is considered meets the needs
of our customers.
SCOPE OF FUTURE PROCUREMENT

contract term of between 3–5 years, with potential extension options. NPH are
considering (and will be finalising following early market engagement) whether to offer the
contract as a single supplier or multiple suppliers and/or lot structure.
