Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde is planning a services contract for window cleaning, reactive cleaning and associated cleaning services across its buildings in Glasgow. The scope includes internal and external window cleaning, emergency cleaning available around the clock, and flexible provision suited to different building types, access arrangements, road restrictions and occupancy levels. Suppliers may need to use several cleaning methods, including abseiling, and provide the access equipment required to carry out the work safely. The procurement is classified as accommodation, building and window cleaning services, including building cleaning and window-cleaning services. It is planned as one lot and is intended to support the University’s buildings and facilities.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the University has published an intention to procure and has not invited tenders. The planned contract is expected to be taken forward through a future procurement notice, currently anticipated for 9 October 2026. The Prior Information Notice says the University may carry out further market engagement, with interested parties asked to register their interest by 12 noon on 22 September 2026 for that engagement. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000 excluding any stated tax treatment. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The information remains subject to change before the formal procurement is issued, so the scope, timetable and arrangements may be revised.

The work is likely to suit established commercial cleaning contractors with experience of window cleaning and responsive or emergency cleaning across complex occupied sites. Relevant suppliers should be able to provide planned internal and external window cleaning, respond to urgent requirements at any time, and adapt methods and staffing to varied buildings, access constraints, occupancy levels and local road restrictions. Capability to carry out abseiling work, together with ownership or reliable provision of suitable access equipment, will be important. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate safe systems of work, competent personnel, appropriate equipment and the capacity to deliver a flexible service across a university estate. Specialist window-cleaning firms, larger facilities-management providers and capable partnerships may be well placed to prepare.
