## Summary

The University of Aberdeen is currently conducting an open tender process for window cleaning services, specifically for both internal and external needs across its campuses, which are primarily located in urban areas prone to atmospheric soiling and pollution. This procurement initiative is part of project code 21069 and will run until 23rd May 2022, with the contract expected to commence on 1st August 2022 for an initial period of three years, potentially extendable by one year subject to performance reviews. The classification for this procurement falls under accommodation, building, and window cleaning services, aiming to appoint suitable contractors to meet the university's cleaning and maintenance requirements effectively.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the cleaning and facilities management sectors, particularly those that can demonstrate experience in large-scale window cleaning projects and adherence to health and safety standards. Companies that specialise in providing responsive cleaning services, equipped with capabilities for scheduled and emergency call-offs, would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. The expected duration and potential for renewal present an attractive prospect for service providers looking to establish a long-term relationship with a prominent educational institution.

## Notice

In total the University requires window cleaning services for its halls of residence, ca 50 academic/academic-related buildings, and ca 80 entrances, all which are located in and around the City of Aberdeen, with a couple of properties located in Inverurie and at Newburgh.
