Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia (UEA) has completed the contracting process for its "Residential Summer Deep Cleaning" tender, classified under accommodation cleaning services. The procurement aimed to secure deep cleaning services for student accommodation blocks and communal areas, scheduled between 23rd June 2025 and 4th July 2025 in Norwich, postcode NR4 7TJ. The process reached the award stage with an active status, and the contract, valued at £75,000, has been awarded to Crystal Facilities Management. The procurement was undertaken using a limited method through a competitive quotation process below the threshold, with all clarifications on room numbers expected by March 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in accommodation cleaning services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale, time-sensitive projects. It is most suitable for companies with experience in managing the cleaning of high-capacity facilities within tight deadlines, especially large enterprises like Crystal Facilities Management, which was successful due to their capacity and scale. Although not open to SMEs or VCSEs, businesses that can provide competitive and efficient services within such parameters could benefit from similar future opportunities with UEA or other public institutions.
