Summary of the contracting process

St Edmund’s College Cambridge is seeking gutter cleaning services for its facilities at Mount Pleasant, Cambridge CB3 0BN.

SSC Partnership is managing the procurement as agent for St Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge. The work is for the College’s site and includes understanding the existing facilities and layout. The requirement is a services contract rather than a supply or construction project, although relevant roof and gutter maintenance capability forms part of the scope.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, allowing interested organisations or consortia to bid. Bids must include the completed Procurement Specific Questionnaire and ITT response, submitted electronically through the In-Tend portal. The submission deadline set by the buyer is 28 September 2026 at 12 noon. A non-mandatory site visit is planned for 11 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by up to 24 months, giving a maximum term to 31 October 2031. The tender records a gross value of £0; the lot value is recorded as 0 AED. Award will be based on the most advantageous tender using the detailed ITT criteria.

This opportunity suits specialist gutter-cleaning, roof-maintenance and building-cleaning contractors able to work safely at an educational site and maintain existing facilities over a multi-year service period. Firms should be able to complete the full tender response, including the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and all ITT sections, and provide the information needed for evaluation. Experience in gutter clearance and related roof maintenance would be directly relevant, particularly where the service includes identifying or addressing maintenance issues around roof drainage systems. The opportunity can also suit a consortium combining cleaning and roofing capability. A site visit is available to help bidders understand the College’s layout and facilities, but attendance is not required to submit a bid.
