This procurement falls under the services category and focuses on providing agency cleaning staff to support the in-house team across two Exeter campuses and other locations in the South West of England. The tender period concludes on 22nd April 2021, and the contract is set to commence on 23rd April 2021, lasting for three years with the potential for a two-year extension. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the cleaning services sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in a high-value contract. Companies specializing in cleaning, especially those with experience in educational institutions or large public buildings, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The emphasis on touch-point cleaning and conference support means that businesses that can offer reliable staffing and flexible services will have a competitive edge in responding to the University’s needs. ## Notice The University of Exeter is looking to partner with an agency cleaning company through this procurement exercise.
