Cleaning Forum 2026: Day One Focused on Safety and the Defense Sector
The Cleaning Forum program is taking shape. The first day of the conference will focus on the military and defense sectors-areas that place the highest demands on professional cleaning service providers regarding safety, work organization, and service quality.
The main theme of the first day of the conference will be: "Optimising Procurement Processes for Logistics Support Services for the Armed Forces – Cost Efficiency, Security Standards, and the Operational Resilience of Strategic Infrastructure."
The growing importance of the defence sector, the expansion of strategic infrastructure, and increasing security requirements are creating new business opportunities for companies operating in the professional cleaning and facility services industry. At the same time, providing services to the military and the defence industry requires a high level of expertise, a thorough understanding of public procurement procedures, and compliance with stringent quality and security standards.
During the first day of the conference, experts will discuss the latest trends in defence procurement policy, public procurement regulations, and the challenges involved in delivering logistics support services to military units. Particular attention will be given to improving procurement efficiency, creating value in contracting authority–supplier relationships, and addressing the requirements faced by companies providing services for strategic infrastructure.
Topics of the day:
- Ministry of National Defence Procurement Policy - Legal Director, Polish Federation of Entrepreneurs (FPP)
- From price to value: Transforming procurement into a source of organisational advantage - Jolanta Sergot-Kowalska, Director Cleaning Consulting.
- Expert panel discussion, optimising procurement processes, cost efficiency, security standards, and strengthening the operational resilience of strategic infrastructure
Experts will also present the specific requirements for delivering professional cleaning and facility services in military installations and defence manufacturing facilities. In addition, they will discuss the significance of the SAFE programme for the development of the European defence sector and the opportunities it creates for businesses wishing to become part of its supply chain.
The first day of the conference has been designed for companies looking to expand into the defence sector, gain a better understanding of contractor requirements, and learn about best practices in public procurement, logistics support, and security management.
This is a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience, explore the future direction of the market, and gain practical insights that will help companies prepare for successful cooperation with a sector that demands the highest standards of professionalism, quality, and operational excellence.
