Summary of the contracting process

Plumpton College is seeking internal building cleaning services for its college site at Ditchling Road, Plumpton, near Lewes, England. The requirement is for cleaning inside college buildings; the published description does not give a breakdown of buildings, tasks or service frequency. This is a service contract for a supplier able to deliver routine internal cleaning at an educational establishment. The college is the buying organisation and the named delivery location is Plumpton College. The opportunity concerns building cleaning rather than external grounds maintenance or a supply-only purchase.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender was published on 21 October 2026, with bids due by 7 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The stated contract period runs from 22 February 2027 to 21 February 2030. The estimated procurement value is £1,000,000. The opportunity is presented as one requirement, with no separate lots described. Plumpton College has indicated that the contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or enquiry deadline are set out in the published procurement information.

This opportunity may suit cleaning contractors with the workforce, supervision and operational systems to service college buildings reliably over a multi-year contract. Suppliers should be able to organise internal cleaning across an educational site and maintain consistent standards through staff planning, quality checks and continuity of service. The stated SME suitability makes the opportunity relevant to smaller cleaning businesses as well as larger providers, provided they can meet the service commitment and manage the required capacity. The published requirement does not identify particular accreditations, specialist cleaning capabilities, staffing levels or prior experience thresholds, so suppliers should assess the detailed tender requirements before deciding whether their operational offer is a good fit.
