Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester has recently concluded the award stage of its tender process for the provision of ad hoc cleaning staff support, contracted to Crystal Facilities Management Limited. This open procedure tender addresses the need for additional cleaning personnel to assist the in-house team during peak times such as the summer period, for events, and in case of staff shortages. The contract officially commences on 1st June 2025 and will run until 31st May 2028, with the possibility of extension depending on performance and necessity. Classified under the cleaning services industry category, the procurement is designed to support operations at locations including but not limited to British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the United Kingdom, catering to a diverse geographical footprint.

This contract presents a growth opportunity for businesses involved in cleaning services, particularly those capable of providing flexible staffing solutions to meet fluctuating demands. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit given the tender’s suitability settings, although Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically targeted. The structured contract with the University of Worcester, a reputable academic institution, offers an excellent reference for businesses looking to expand their portfolio when engaging with public sector clients. The contract’s scope, along with the potential for multiple suppliers, implies opportunities for new entrants to gain a foothold in a competitive space.
