The procurement process followed an open competitive flexible procedure, and the award stage has been completed with the announcement made on 5th March 2026. The contract period will commence on 1st July 2026 and is expected to conclude by 30th June 2029, with the option for a renewal. Q3 Services, a large enterprise in Reading, has been designated as the supplier. The services fall within the category of Facilities Management Services according to the CPV classification, with a total contract value of approximately £4.3 million, inclusive of potential extensions and renewals until 2031.

This contract represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialised in Facilities Management within Higher Education and Healthcare sectors.

The competitive nature of the tendering process encourages businesses to enhance their service delivery and quality to meet rigorous regional standards. SMEs are encouraged to pursue such opportunities, although for this contract, they did not feature in the final stage bids.
