Summary of the contracting process

New College Swindon procured high-level cleaning services for its college estate. The work covers external window cleaning, building and cladding cleaning, gutter cleaning and solar-panel cleaning, combining specialist façade and glazing maintenance with cleaning of associated external features. The requirement is for the college’s two-site campus in Swindon, Wiltshire, including the Queens Drive campus and another campus in the town. It is a services contract, with window-cleaning and building-cleaning elements. The buyer is New College Swindon, which uses the services to maintain its college buildings and external assets. The requirement suits cleaning contractors able to work across both sites and undertake planned high-level work safely and consistently.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender was published on 1 June 2026, submissions closed on 19 June 2026 at 11:00, and the contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to Clearview Services Group. The awarded value is £90,000 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030, as a four-year fixed-term arrangement. The requirement was evaluated through the open competition, with a mandatory site visit required for bidders and scheduled works beginning in summer 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One award is recorded for the complete requirement, covering the college’s two-site campus rather than separate lots.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need a commercial cleaning operation that can deliver high-level work on a college estate across two Swindon sites. Relevant capability includes safe access and specialist equipment for elevated window and cladding cleaning, effective gutter maintenance, and cleaning of solar panels without damaging panels or associated systems. The winning supplier indicates that the buyer values a contractor able to combine these services under one planned maintenance arrangement, rather than providing only routine internal cleaning. Businesses should be able to demonstrate reliable scheduling around college operations, competent staff, suitable health and safety controls, and the capacity to mobilise and maintain consistent standards across both campuses. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs.
