Summary of the contracting process

The University of Stirling is procuring services for cleaning petrol interceptors, gullies and septic tanks, road sweeping and associated works. The requirement covers routine and related environmental and grounds-maintenance activities, classified under road-cleaning services (CPV 90610000) and refuse and sewerage-related equipment (CPV 34921100). Work will be carried out on the University’s main campus and elsewhere within the Stirling area. The University is the buying organisation and a central purchasing body. The procurement is presented as a single lot, combining all listed services and associated works. The requirement also includes community-benefit expectations, such as apprenticeships, work experience, work placements or secondments, and engagement with the local community, including school visits.

The procurement has reached tender: the University invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The deadline for responses is 9 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time. The estimated contract value is £125,000 including the single lot. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend by up to 24 months; the notice also describes the requirement as recurring after 2.5 or 4.5 years, depending on whether the extension is used. Bids must not include variants. Selection includes the bidder’s general annual turnover for each of the previous three financial years, employer’s liability insurance of at least £5 million and public liability insurance of at least £5 million.

This opportunity suits contractors that can combine interceptor, gully and septic-tank cleaning with road sweeping and associated site works, and that can provide a reliable service across a university campus and the wider Stirling area. Businesses will need sufficient financial capacity to evidence turnover across three financial years and robust insurance arrangements covering both employees and public liability. The requirement is likely to suit established environmental-services, drainage-maintenance, tanker, waste-management or road-sweeping firms, as well as a consortium able to cover the full range of activities. Suppliers should also be prepared to support community-benefit commitments, potentially including apprenticeships, work experience, placements, secondments and local engagement.
