Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University is seeking a contractor to provide window-cleaning services across its City, Confetti College, Clifton and Brackenhurst campuses. The work covers scheduled cleaning and additional cleans requested as needed, across multi-storey modern and period buildings. Internal partitions and external signage are also included. This is a facilities services requirement for a supplier able to clean a varied university estate across multiple sites in Nottingham and the surrounding area.

The University invited offers through an open procedure. The requirement is divided into one lot. The estimated contract value is £500,000 gross. The initial contract period runs from 12 January 2027 to 11 January 2029, with an option to extend by up to three 12-month periods, subject to performance; the maximum stated end date is 11 January 2032. The enquiry deadline was 9 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was expected by 27 November 2026. Evaluation is weighted equally between the commercial offer and technical quality, at 50% each. Economic and technical selection criteria apply.

The single-lot contract suits a window-cleaning provider with the capacity to cover four campuses and coordinate work across a substantial estate. Suppliers should be equipped to clean multi-storey buildings of differing ages and designs, as well as internal partitions and external signage. The mix of scheduled work and additional cleans requested as needed favours contractors able to plan regular visits while responding to further service requirements. Technical capability and the quality of the proposed service carry equal weight with price in evaluation, so bidders will need to demonstrate a sound delivery approach alongside a competitive commercial offer. The stated economic and technical selection criteria mean suppliers should be prepared to evidence their financial standing and relevant operational capability.
