Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington College is seeking a provider for building cleaning services covering 19,441 square metres. The requirement is for cleaning the college’s buildings and associated premises in Darlington, at the college site on Central Park, Haughton Road, DL1 1DR. This is a services contract for an organisation able to deliver routine and planned cleaning across a substantial educational estate. The buying organisation is Darlington College. The opportunity is relevant to commercial cleaning companies, facilities management providers and other contractors with the workforce, supervision and operational arrangements needed to maintain large public buildings. Delivery is centred on Darlington, England, rather than a multi-site national requirement.

The process reached the tender stage, with the buyer inviting offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 22 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. Its stated total estimated value is £1,890,000 including the published currency of GBP. The requirement is presented as a single building-cleaning services opportunity rather than separate lots. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should review the tender requirements and submit their offer using the buyer’s specified electronic quotation route. The published process sets the commercial opportunity over a three-year delivery period.

This opportunity suits established building-cleaning contractors and facilities management businesses with the capacity to service 19,441 square metres of college buildings consistently. Strong candidates are likely to have experienced cleaning operatives, site supervisors, scheduling and quality-control systems, and the ability to manage staffing, equipment, consumables and customer liaison across an education setting. Relevant experience in cleaning schools, colleges, universities, offices or other busy public buildings would support a credible bid. The stated suitability for SMEs means smaller providers may compete, provided they can demonstrate sufficient operational resilience and management capacity for the estate. Businesses able to provide reliable, compliant and well-supervised cleaning delivery in Darlington should consider the opportunity.
