Summary of the contracting process

Dudley College of Technology is procuring cleaning services for its further and higher education campuses. The requirement covers regular, routine cleaning during normal college operations, together with more specific periodic cleaning outside term time. Courses are delivered across multiple campuses within a 25-mile radius of the main campus at The Broadway, Dudley, so the service is likely to involve a distributed estate rather than a single building. The main service category is school and education-sector cleaning, including general cleaning services (CPV 90919300). The buyer is Dudley College of Technology, based in Dudley, West Midlands, and the work is to be delivered across the College’s campus network.

The procurement has reached tender: Dudley College of Technology invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 27 August 2026 at 10:00. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with provision for two one-year extensions. Its estimated total value is £3,992,295 including the stated currency, GBP. The extensions are linked to achievement of agreed key performance indicators, measured from the first day of the contract. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender concerns one overall cleaning requirement rather than separately described lots, covering routine and periodic services across the College’s campuses.

This opportunity suits established commercial cleaning contractors able to manage education-sector premises across several campuses and coordinate consistent service delivery across a dispersed estate. Suppliers will need operational capability for routine cleaning during college activity, as well as more intensive or specialist periodic cleaning scheduled outside term-time operations. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to regional providers with sufficient teams, supervision and scheduling capacity to cover multiple sites. Businesses should be comfortable working to agreed service standards and monitoring performance through key performance indicators from the start of delivery. Strong mobilisation, quality control, staff management and the ability to maintain reliable cleaning levels across changing campus requirements will be commercially important.
