Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees College is procuring external window-cleaning services across all seven of its college sites. The requirement is for a specialist cleaning contractor to clean windows and associated external glazing at the college’s locations. The principal delivery location is in Huddersfield, England, with the college based at Waterfront Quarter, HD1 3LD. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. It will suit businesses providing commercial or institutional window cleaning, particularly those able to organise delivery across several sites and work within a college estate. The procurement is categorised under CPV 90911300, window-cleaning services. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller contractors may compete where they can demonstrate the operational ability to cover the required sites.

The procurement reached the tender stage: Kirklees College invited offers through an open procedure. The buyer set the submission deadline at 12:00 on 21 July 2026. The contract is intended to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its estimated total value is £129,000, inclusive of the published currency. The requirement covers the college’s seven sites as one overall window-cleaning opportunity; no separate lots are identified. Businesses were directed to register or log in to the MultiQuote supplier portal and quote reference CA18226 to access and submit their offer. The published process identifies the procurement method as an open procedure. The tender invitation does not state an evaluation weighting or other award basis in the available procurement details.

This opportunity is suited to commercial window-cleaning contractors with experience of external cleaning for education, public-sector or other multi-site estates. Relevant suppliers should be able to plan regular work across seven college locations, coordinate operatives and equipment between sites, and deliver consistent standards at each location. The requirement favours businesses with practical external window-cleaning capability, suitable access equipment and the capacity to manage a multi-year service arrangement. Smaller firms are expressly within the intended supplier market, making this potentially relevant to an SME that can cover the geographic and operational scope directly or through an established delivery team. Contractors should consider whether their workforce, equipment, scheduling systems and previous comparable work are sufficient for a college-wide service rather than a single-building assignment.
