Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has finalised a comprehensive procurement process, awarding contracts for cleaning and window cleaning services, encompassing all its campuses and residences under three distinct lots. This procurement is rooted in an open procedure to consolidate nine existing contracts into more streamlined agreements. Site visits are scheduled during the week commencing 19th February 2024, with significant contract awards made to Solo Service Group Limited, Bidvest Noonan UK Limited, and OCS Group UK Limited. The procurement stage transitioned through the award and contract processes, concluding with contracts signed on various dates in mid-2024, covering services in Cardiff (UKL22). The invitation to tender detailed a range of requirements, with documents available for review until 15th February 2024, emphasising the use of GBP for all dealings.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses focused on facility management, cleaning, and janitorial services. The contracts, valued at over £28 million across three years, offer significant revenue generation opportunities for large organisations with established service delivery capabilities in comprehensive cleaning. Ideal bidders include those who can meet high-quality standards and competitive pricing, evidenced by the blend of quality and cost criteria (40-60 split) used to assess bids. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with niche expertise in specific tasks, such as high-risk area cleaning or specialised window cleaning solutions, will find competitive advantages in securing portions of this extensive contract.
