Summary of the contracting process

Bangor University procured specialist cleaning and sanitation services (CPV 90900000) for its university sites in Bangor, Gwynedd. The requirement covers cleaning services delivered across the university’s sites in the Bangor area. Bangor University is the public-sector buyer and the contracting authority managing the requirement. The awarded supplier, Cadnant Group Ltd, is based in Bangor and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This is a single-service requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. It is relevant to cleaning contractors with the staff, equipment, management systems and operational coverage needed to provide specialist cleaning services across university premises in Bangor and the surrounding Gwynedd area.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bangor University used a below-threshold limited competition. Two bids were received, with one reaching the final stage; one final-stage bid came from an SME. Cadnant Group Ltd was awarded the single lot on 13 August 2026 for £168,000 excluding VAT (£201,600 including VAT). The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with renewal options of two further 12-month periods, or parts thereof, up to 30 September 2031. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 10 September 2026. The award was active when recorded, and the procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for specialist cleaning services within Bangor University’s estate and shows that a local SME secured the work through a below-threshold limited competition. Competitors would need credible specialist-cleaning capability, reliable staffing and supervision, suitable equipment and the capacity to service university premises across Bangor and Gwynedd. They would also need to present a proportionate, well-organised response suited to a limited competition, with evidence that they can maintain consistent service quality across multiple sites. Local operational coverage may be commercially useful, given the delivery area and the location of the successful supplier. The requirement is a useful benchmark for cleaning businesses assessing their readiness for comparable university work.
