UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees College is procuring external window-cleaning services across all seven of its college sites. The requirement is for a specialist cleaning contractor to clean the external windows of buildings used by the college. The buyer is Kirklees College, a public undertaking based in Huddersfield. The delivery country is the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity rather than a supply or construction contract, and is relevant to businesses providing commercial window cleaning for education, public-sector or multi-site premises. Suppliers should consider whether they can organise consistent service delivery across seven locations and meet the college’s required quality standards. The procurement covers the college’s external window-cleaning requirement as a single service package.

The process reached tender: Kirklees College invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries and bids were set to close on 21 July 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time, with electronic submission allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with extensions permitted for two further 12-month periods, giving a maximum end date of 30 September 2031. The estimated value is £129,000 excluding VAT, or £154,800 including VAT. There is one lot. Award decisions are weighted 70% for quality and 30% for price, with the detailed quality and pricing requirements set out in the procurement documentation.

This opportunity suits established commercial window-cleaning businesses able to provide external window cleaning as a managed service for a public-sector education client. It is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, so smaller providers may be able to compete alongside larger cleaning contractors. The 70% quality weighting means bidders should be prepared to demonstrate a strong service approach, reliable operational management and the ability to meet the college’s requirements, rather than competing on price alone. Businesses with experience coordinating work across multiple college sites or comparable multi-site premises are likely to be well placed to respond. The requirement is focused on specialist window-cleaning delivery.
