Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England in Bristol awarded a contract for cleaning services, specifically for Arnolfini and Bush House, with a projected completion date by December 2025. This procurement process, classified under services in the accommodation cleaning category, commenced with a direct procurement method below the threshold, meaning competition was not part of the process. The contract was awarded to ATLAS FM LIMITED, a large-scale company based in Datchet, with the contract formally signed on 9th October 2025. The value of the contract amounts to £50,739.48 gross, covering the cleaning services from 10th October 2025 to 31st December 2025.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses operating within the cleaning services industry, particularly those capable of managing large institutional contracts, to align themselves with similar opportunities in the future. Although the procurement was direct, the scope and value of the deal highlight the potential for substantial collaborations with significant public authorities such as sub-central governments and educational institutions like the University of the West of England. Such initiatives can greatly contribute to the business growth of suppliers, particularly those equipped to offer comprehensive service packages.
