Summary of the contracting process

Heriot-Watt University recently completed the procurement process for Window Cleaning Services at its Edinburgh and Galashiels campuses, including properties in Edinburgh, Hermiston House, and Panmure House. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting accommodation, building, and window cleaning services. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and concluded with an award to Brew Contract Cleaning Ltd on 19th June 2026, for a contract valued at £400,000. The tender was part of a broader plan initiated on 3rd February 2026, with submissions due by 5th March 2026. This process notably involves key locations within the UKM75 region, focusing on technical and price criteria for evaluation.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in comprehensive cleaning services. The process allowed the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mandated electronic bidding, making it accessible to a wider range of service providers. Businesses with robust technical capabilities and competitive pricing strategies were particularly well-suited to compete, benefiting from requirements such as authorisation or membership with the Federation of Window Cleaners and the Safety Accredited Member scheme. The contract also allows for extensions based on performance, providing long-term opportunities for sustained business growth.
