The requirement covers routine cleaning of college buildings, with the required building specifications and cleaning frequencies set out in the tender pack. This is a facilities-cleaning services contract, classified under CPV 90911300. The appointed supplier will be responsible for delivering a consistently high-quality service across the college estate, rather than separate providers for individual sites or areas. Businesses specialising in commercial window cleaning, particularly those able to coordinate delivery across multiple campuses and maintain consistent standards, are the most relevant potential suppliers. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement has reached the tender stage: Bedford College invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 7 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2027, with one-year extensions available up to a maximum term of four years. Its estimated value is £200,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement seeks best value, supported by transparent costing and consistently excellent service standards. It is for one provider covering all campuses. The tender pack sets out the building specifications and required cleaning frequencies, which suppliers will need to use when preparing their offers and pricing. The stated procurement category is services. This opportunity suits established commercial window-cleaning companies with the people, equipment and management systems to service multiple education campuses across three counties. Suppliers should be able to plan regular visits against different building requirements and cleaning frequencies, coordinate operatives across Bedfordshire, Central Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, and maintain reliable, consistent standards throughout the service. Strong quality-control arrangements, clear reporting and transparent cost breakdowns will support a competitive offer. Businesses with experience cleaning colleges, schools, public buildings or other multi-site estates are likely to be well placed, provided they can demonstrate dependable delivery and sufficient operational capacity. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist providers with the ability to manage the full estate may compete as the single contractor. ## Notice Bedford College is seeking a single, reliable provider to deliver a high-quality window cleaning service across all campuses in Bedfordshire, Central Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire.
