## Summary

The University of Essex has completed a procurement process for the periodic cleaning of accommodations, specifically during the summer period that supports Event Essex conference activities. The title of the process is "T954 - Periodic Contract Cleaning - Mini Competition Lot 2 Yr4", focusing on accommodation cleaning services in Colchester. This was part of a selective procurement process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement with a procurement stage tagged as an award update. The procurement concluded with an award value of £21,712.25 GBP to Crystal Facilities Management Limited, with the contract period running from 31st March 2026 to 2nd October 2026.

This procurement presents a viable opportunity for businesses specializing in accommodation cleaning services to engage in substantial contracts that extend across various geographical regions. Entities capable of assembling a team to work alongside in-house teams during high-demand periods, like conferences, would find this opportunity particularly beneficial. While the opportunity is closed, similar tenders may offer growth potential for medium to large cleaning service providers looking to expand their portfolios in the public sector. The presence of a framework agreement suggests regular opportunities may arise, allowing businesses to compete in a structured environment.
