Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the University of South Wales, focuses on providing cleaning and housekeeping services for their summer accommodation. The primary industry category is cleaning services, under the broader classification of community, social, and personal services. Situated in Pontypridd, UK, the University is the contracting authority. Recently, amendments were made to the existing contract on 24th June 2026 to include additional services like laundry and storage of bedding materials. Initially, the tender was awarded on 17th July 2025 and commenced on 27th June 2025, following an open competition procurement method. The contract, valued at £204,000 including VAT, is active and runs until 26th June 2027.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in cleaning and facilities management. SMEs capable of swiftly providing deep cleaning, laundry, and storage solutions for student accommodations would find this contract beneficial for expanding their portfolio. Given the emphasis on value and quality, firms offering competitive pricing along with high service standards, potentially promoting social value, would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. The integration of additional services within the contract highlights potential for businesses to offer bundled solutions that enhance operational efficiencies for the University.
