Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City University procured deep cleaning services for its University Locks halls of residence in Birmingham. The work involves a thorough summer clean of student accommodation, preparing the halls for summer bookings and the next academic year. The requirement falls within accommodation cleaning services. The buyer is Birmingham City University, a public higher education institution, and delivery is at the University Locks residence site in Birmingham. This is a single-service requirement focused on preparing residential accommodation between academic occupancy periods. It is relevant to facilities management and commercial cleaning businesses with the workforce, supervision and operational systems needed to clean halls of residence thoroughly and consistently across a defined seasonal programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AMETROS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT LIMITED, an SME. Birmingham City University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and runs from 20 June 2026 to 19 June 2027. Its value is £68,889.13 excluding VAT, or £82,666.96 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot covering the University Locks summer cleaning requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the arrangement covers accommodation cleaning services for the university’s halls of residence.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist cleaning of university halls of residence, covering preparation for both summer bookings and the following academic year. A credible competitor for similar work would need experience in deep cleaning accommodation at scale, with the staffing capacity to complete a concentrated seasonal programme and the management controls to deliver consistent standards across residential areas. Relevant strengths would include facilities management capability, reliable mobilisation, safe working practices, quality assurance and the ability to coordinate cleaning around occupancy and booking requirements. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a business of modest scale can be considered suitable for this type of university accommodation-cleaning requirement when it can demonstrate dependable delivery and operational capacity.
