Summary of the contracting process

The North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium (NEUPC Ltd), based in Leeds, has initiated an active procurement process for establishing a framework focused on Security and Cleaning Services, expected to span across various regions in the UK including Northern Ireland and Wales. This tender, referenced as EFM2065 NE, involves creating a structured agreement with multiple suppliers across different lots and regions. Open until 23rd June 2026, the procurement process permits electronic submissions, employing a competitive flexible procedure for evaluating potential contractors. The framework aims for a start date of 30th September 2026, with an initial three-year contract period and a possible one-year extension, facilitating both extensive security and comprehensive cleaning services.

This tender invites vast opportunities for growth particularly for SMEs within the security and cleaning industries. Companies specialising in security provisions, such as on-site guarding, mobile patrols, and CCTV operations, or cleaning services including office upkeep, deep cleans, and specialist floor care, are particularly positioned to benefit. With a gross value of GBP 24 million, the framework supports the inclusion of small and medium-sized enterprises ready to ensure high standards of service. Businesses that demonstrate strong financial stability, highlighted by a liquidity ratio greater than 1, and those with robust quality and social value propositions will find themselves well-situated to leverage this framework for sustainable growth in the UK public service sector.
