UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ravensbourne University London procured cleaning services for its university building in London. The requirement covers general cleaning of internal and external areas, window cleaning, and periodic specialised cleaning when required. The service is intended to support an effective, constructive relationship between the university and its appointed contractor, including continual improvements to service quality and operating costs. The requirement previously involved 18 employees working on site, indicating a substantial staffed operation rather than a small, occasional cleaning contract. The buyer is Ravensbourne University London, based at 6 Penrose Way, London, and the service delivery is in the university’s London premises. The procurement is classified as cleaning services (CPV 90910000).

The procurement is complete and Churchill Contract Services Limited was selected through a competitive further competition under Lot 2 of the LUPC framework, using a selective framework-award procedure. The award date was 12 July 2026. Its value is £1,600,000 excluding VAT, or £1,920,000 including VAT. The contract period is 27 August 2026 to 26 August 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 26 August 2031. The award is above the applicable threshold. The single lot is complete. A standstill period is scheduled to end on 14 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 15 August 2026. Evaluation was conducted through the competitive framework further competition.

This requirement is most relevant to established commercial cleaning contractors able to deliver routine cleaning across internal and external university areas, supplemented by window cleaning and periodic specialist work. Credible competitors would need the operational capacity to manage a sizeable on-site workforce, maintain consistent service quality across an education environment, and respond flexibly when additional specialist cleaning is requested. The buyer’s stated emphasis on an open working relationship and continual improvement means suppliers should be able to monitor performance, collaborate with university stakeholders, identify efficiencies and improve quality without relying on increased margins. Experience of delivering integrated cleaning services for complex public or educational estates, together with the governance and contract-management capability needed for a framework competition, would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
