Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex College Group procured building cleaning services through a framework agreement intended for its own requirements and use by other public-sector organisations. The framework is designed to give participating organisations access to regional competition and value for money when arranging cleaning services. Eligible users include further education colleges, universities, sixth forms, academies, schools, museums and similar organisations, including local authorities procuring for educational establishments. It is also available to other eligible public-sector bodies. The main delivery location is Eastbourne, with the stated geographical coverage extending across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. This is a services procurement, classified under CPV 90911200 for building-cleaning services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Churchill Contract Services Ltd was selected as the supplier on 3 September 2026, with an awarded value of £2,558,900. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a framework agreement rather than a single standalone cleaning contract, allowing eligible public-sector users to procure building-cleaning services through the agreed arrangement. The framework’s stated purpose is to provide compliant access, regional competition and value for money. The award is active, and the published procurement records identify Churchill Contract Services Ltd as the successful supplier.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for building-cleaning services delivered through a compliant framework route. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work with East Sussex College Group and eligible education or public-sector users would need credible experience of managing cleaning services across institutional premises and of operating within a structured, regionally competitive framework. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a specialist regional operator could be relevant as well as a larger national contractor. Businesses should be able to evidence reliable service delivery, sufficient operational capacity, consistent quality control and the governance needed to serve colleges, schools, universities, museums and local-authority education estates. Framework capability and public-sector contract management would strengthen a future bid.
