Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow School of Art is seeking a supplier to clean the windows of its buildings in Glasgow. The work is a building-cleaning service, specifically window cleaning (CPV 90911300). The requirement is described as one package covering the School’s buildings, rather than separate lots, so it suits firms able to deliver a service across the estate. The buyer is Glasgow School of Art, an education institution based on Renfrew Street in Glasgow. The stated delivery location is Glasgow. The requirement is for cleaning services rather than the supply of equipment or construction work.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The bid submission deadline was 11 January 2027 at 12:00 noon; bids were scheduled to be opened at 12:30 pm that day. The contract period is 1,080 days, with the School retaining discretion to renew for two further periods of 12 months each. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. The published selection information refers suppliers to the tender documents for suitability criteria, and requires bidders to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the contract. The tender does not allow variant bids. The contract is expected to use electronic ordering and payment.

This opportunity is most relevant to commercial window-cleaning firms with the workforce and operational capacity to service Glasgow School of Art’s buildings throughout the contract and any renewals. Bidders should be prepared to identify the staff they would assign and provide their professional qualifications, so businesses need suitable personnel and a clear staffing plan. The requirement may suit suppliers experienced in delivering ongoing cleaning services for institutional or multi-building clients, although no particular prior experience or accreditation is stated in the published information. It is a single service package, making it relevant to firms able to take responsibility for the overall window-cleaning requirement rather than suppliers focused on isolated sites. Electronic ordering and payment are part of the expected contract arrangements.
