Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Metropolitan University has concluded the process for awarding the contract titled "Student Accommodation Deep Cleaning" under the category of cleaning services. The procurement was targeted towards the University’s campuses in Cardiff, United Kingdom, specifically focusing on the Cyncoed Campus and Plas Gwyn Halls of Residences. After a limited competition procurement method, the contract was awarded on 16 April 2025 to commence from 16 June 2025 until 15 August 2025. The contract is valued at £45,000 and involved a deep cleaning service of the student accommodations' various facilities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for service-oriented businesses in the cleaning industry. Companies like Crystal Facilities Management Limited, an SME based in London, which successfully secured this contract, demonstrate that small to medium enterprises can thrive in such procurement processes. Businesses specialising in facility management and those able to provide comprehensive cleaning solutions at competitive rates would be well-positioned in similar future tenders from sub-central government authorities such as universities and educational institutions. The emphasis on deep cleaning services aligns with the sector's demand for maintaining high standards of cleanliness, especially in environments frequented by large groups.
