UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is procuring cleaning services and cleaning staff to support various educational buildings across Swansea. The requirement covers cleaning for school and office environments, including associated office and school equipment cleaning services. It is a public-sector services contract for education departments, with delivery taking place in Swansea. Suppliers would be responsible for providing both the cleaning operation and the staff needed to support the council’s education buildings. The opportunity is relevant to commercial cleaning companies, education-sector facilities service providers and other organisations able to organise reliable cleaning staff and deliver consistent services across multiple educational premises.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 18 August 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 25 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is for one lot, with an estimated value of £120,000 excluding VAT (£144,000 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with renewal available for up to 24 months and a maximum end date of 31 October 2030. Evaluation is based on 70% pricing and 30% quality, assessed through method statement questions. Bids may be submitted electronically through the eTenderWales portal, where suppliers must register and express interest before responding.

This opportunity suits cleaning contractors with the operational capacity to provide staff and maintain cleaning standards across various educational buildings in Swansea. Relevant suppliers are likely to have experience delivering commercial, school or office cleaning, coordinating personnel across more than one premises and responding to method statement questions that explain how the service will be delivered. The requirement is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may be accessible to organisations of those types with an appropriate workforce and service-management capability. Suppliers should be prepared to provide clear pricing alongside a credible, quality-focused delivery approach.
