Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Residences Extractor Fan Cleaning" service, spearheaded by Cardiff University in the United Kingdom, has reached the award stage, with the service starting on 1st July 2026. Cardiff University, classified as a sub-central government public authority, has engaged in this open competition below the threshold for services within the building-cleaning sector. The contract entails cleaning approximately 5,000 through-wall extractor fans at the university's residences, carried out annually in shared bathrooms, biennially in en-suite facilities, and twice yearly in kitchens. The contract closes on 30th June 2027, with a potential one-year extension. All activities will be localised in the region of UKL22 (Wales), aligning with Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement was concluded with Vectair Environmental Limited, an SME, receiving the award valued at £65,025 excluding VAT.

This tender presents growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in building-cleaning services, given its focus on specialist cleaning tasks in educational facility settings. Businesses specialising in thorough wall extractor fan maintenance are well-suited to benefit from similar contracts in the education sector that demand routine and comprehensive cleaning schedules. The open procurement method and the university's clear criteria on quality, responsible procurement, and price provide an equitable platform for competition, fostering business growth in compliance-driven environments like university campuses. As Cardiff University seeks efficiency and quality, businesses leveraging innovative cleaning techniques may stand out in future bidding rounds.
