Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire New University has announced an amendment to its "Cleaning, Pest Control and Grounds Maintenance Contract." This public sector contract is classified under the services category and is located at the University's High Wycombe campus in the United Kingdom. As of 24th November 2025, the procurement process has reached the contract amendment stage, following a direct award approach to renew the existing contract for a period of six months, with an option to extend for another six months if needed. Initially effective from 1st October 2025, the novation agreement was executed due to the acquisition of the former supplier, Nexgen Facilities Services Ltd, by the new supplier, Bidvest Noonan (UK) Ltd.

This procurement offers growing businesses in the facilities management sector a chance to align with a reputable academic institution. Opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning, pest control, and grounds maintenance can be significant, particularly for those that can demonstrate reliability and technical compatibility with existing services. The contract value of over £1 million allows for competitive bids that focus on maintaining service continuity and value for money, thus positioning successful suppliers for potential future extensions or procurements.
