Summary of the contracting process

Heriot-Watt University has completed the procurement process for window cleaning services at its Edinburgh and Galashiels campuses, along with properties in Edinburgh, including Hermiston House and Panmure House. The university, a public educational organisation situated in Edinburgh, conducted an open procedure for this services procurement. The tender process began on 3rd February 2026, with a closing date for submissions on 5th March 2026. The contract, valued at £400,000, was awarded to Brew Contract Cleaning Ltd on 19th June 2026. This contract, now active, heralds further opportunities for businesses involved in facility management services.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, especially those operating within the SME sector. The procurement's focus on quality (60%) and price (40%) criteria indicates a demand for technically capable service providers who can offer competitive pricing. The requirement for existing memberships or authorisations from reputable organisations, such as the Federation of Window Cleaners, suggests that experienced and accredited businesses are best suited to participate. Companies in the initial stages seeking to expand their client base within the educational sector will find this opportunity advantageous, particularly those who can demonstrate compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
