Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk New College procured a single-provider building cleaning service for its college premises. The requirement covers routine cleaning and associated building-cleaning activities, classified under CPV 90911200. The work is associated with the college at Rope Walk, Ipswich, England, postcode IP4 1LT, and the procurement identifies the United Kingdom as a delivery country. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. Businesses specialising in commercial, education-sector or institutional cleaning would be the most directly relevant, particularly those able to provide one organisation capable of managing the full requirement across the college’s premises rather than separate providers for individual tasks.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The award decision was made on 21 July 2026. Churchill Contract Services Ltd was selected as the supplier for an awarded value of £706,741.99. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender deadline was 24 April 2026 at 1pm. The requirement was structured as a single-provider service, with no separate lots identified. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the published outcome records the selected supplier and the full contract period.

For a cleaning company that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear benchmark for the type of supplier Suffolk New College uses: a single provider able to take responsibility for building cleaning across an education site. A credible future competitor would need dependable operational capacity, sufficient trained cleaning staff, robust supervision and quality-control arrangements, and the ability to maintain consistent service delivery over a multi-year contract. Experience of cleaning colleges, schools or other occupied public buildings would help demonstrate suitability, alongside reliable mobilisation, safeguarding-aware working practices and continuity during term-time operations. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so scale alone is not the defining barrier; organised delivery and evidence of performance are central.
