UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Huddersfield, a public authority entity classified under sub-central government, has conducted a procurement process titled "Supply of Robot Cleaning at The University Of Huddersfield." This tender falls within the goods category and involves the supply, installation, commissioning, and support of an autonomous robotic cleaning fleet. The purpose is to improve productivity and cleaning standards across the university's busy campus. The completed procurement was initiated on 24 July 2026, with the contract active from 28 July 2026 to 12 August 2026, involving regions UKE42 and UKE44 within the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was described as "below threshold - unknown," indicating a likely simplified process tailored to smaller contracts.

This procurement presents a significant business opportunity, especially for those specialising in industrial cleaning technologies, particularly in robotic systems. Businesses that can supply advanced cleaning solutions capable of operating in dynamic, high-footfall environments stand to benefit greatly from such opportunities. Small to medium-sized enterprises, especially those equipped to deliver intelligent solutions with measurable sustainability and operational benefits, are particularly well-suited to engage in such public tenders. With a contract value of £108,000 (gross), suppliers like Industrial Cleaning Equipment, which have successfully procured this contract, could serve as benchmarks for other SMEs looking to expand their reach within the public sector supply chain.
