Summary of the contracting process

Jisc is procuring office cleaning services for its Bristol office at 4 Portwall Lane, Bristol, BS1 6NB. The requirement covers routine cleaning of the organisation’s office premises and is classified as office cleaning services. Jisc is the public-sector buyer and the work is delivered at its Portwall Lane site. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a multi-site or multi-lot opportunity. It is relevant to commercial cleaning contractors able to provide dependable office cleaning services in Bristol, including smaller businesses that can manage a public-sector service contract and meet the buyer’s technical requirements.

The procurement has reached the award stage. Jisc used an open procedure, with one lot, and selected SKWEEKY KLEEN SOUTH WEST LTD. The award is recorded as pending, with a standstill period ending on 23 September 2026 and a planned signature milestone on 24 September 2026. The award date is 11 September 2026. The awarded value is £276,000 excluding VAT, or £331,200 including VAT. The awarded contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with extensions available to a maximum end date of 30 September 2030, on a 2 + 1 + 1 basis. Bids closed on 14 May 2026; enquiries closed on 8 May 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 56% and price at 44%.

This award demonstrates established demand from Jisc for office cleaning at its Bristol premises and provides a clear benchmark for future competition for the same requirement. A credible competitor would need strong technical delivery arrangements, as quality carried greater weight than price, alongside robust pricing and the operational capacity to maintain consistent standards in an occupied office environment. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, and ten suppliers reached the final stage, showing that smaller cleaning businesses can compete when they can evidence a suitably organised service. Suppliers with proven office-cleaning experience, reliable staffing and supervision, quality assurance processes, and the capacity to manage public-sector contract obligations would be well placed when this requirement next returns to market.
