## Summary

The University of Exeter, located in Exeter, UK, initiated a tender process for "Science Park Cleaning" services at their Engineering Research Centre in May 2025. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting cleaning and office cleaning services. The tender was conducted as an open competition below the financial threshold, ensuring broad participation. Despite initially being active with a submission deadline of 27th May 2025, the procurement process was later terminated on 27th August 2025 due to inconsistencies in the specification, with plans to revisit the tender at the beginning of 2026. The award had been cancelled as a result of this internal review process.

This cleaning services contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the cleaning industry, particularly those able to meet detailed quality and price criteria, which weigh 40% and 60%, respectively. SMEs could find this tender particularly attractive due to its suitability considerations, and those located in or around the South West of England may benefit from logistical advantages. Interested businesses were expected to demonstrate their capability to uphold quality standards for the duration of the contract period, which was initially planned to run from August 2025 to July 2027, in anticipation of a reissued tender early in 2026. This offers a forthcoming opportunity for companies seeking to establish or expand partnerships with academic institutions.
