## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has recently completed a tender process for window cleaning services comprising both internal and external cleaning, essential due to the urban location of its campuses and environmental factors such as air pollution and proximity to the sea. The procurement was conducted under the open procedure and involved an award worth £212,000. The tender was officially initiated on 18th July 2022, with the contract awarded to the highest-ranked bidder, reflecting the strategic need for sustained cleaning services across approximately 50 academic buildings and numerous entrances in Aberdeen, Inverurie, and Newburgh.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in tailored cleaning solutions and emergency response services. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with health and safety standards and have a proven track record in service delivery and contract management will be particularly well-positioned to compete. The strategic framework agreement allows the awarded contractors to meet ongoing cleaning demands without the need for further mini-competitions, thus providing a stable workload for successful suppliers.

## Notice

Award of contract to provide internal and external Window Cleaning and Related Services which utilise industry best practice, and are able to complement the University's resources and support activities across the University Estate. The University campuses are primarily located in urban areas and as such buildings are subjected to atmospheric soiling and air pollution. In addition, due to the close proximity to the sea and a significant bird population in the local area, the University requires both scheduled internal and external window and building entrance cleaning services as well as an emergency call-off service for certain high priority areas. 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.
