The initiative is under the "services" industry category and involves a seamless service provision including management of window and cladding cleaning, among other specialised tasks. Contracts have been awarded and are active from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030, allowing potential renewals up to 2033. The procurement process was carried out using an open procedure, with significant milestones including a market engagement event and multiple tender notices leading up to the current award stage. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the cleaning services sector to expand by forming strategic partnerships and delivering consistent, quality services to a high-profile government organisation. Companies experienced in commercial and specialist cleaning, specifically large-scale facilities management outfits, stand in good position to compete, considering the nature and scope of the services required across multiple sites. With a significant budget allocation of up to £5.2 million gross, this opportunity calls for businesses capable of maintaining high standards and meeting regulatory compliance efficiently and effectively. ## Notice The overall requirement is for a fully integrated and seamless commercial and specialist cleaning service, incorporating management of window and cladding cleaning, provision and servicing of feminine hygiene units and dust mats. The cleaning services are required to be provided across two different STFC sites- Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and Chilbolton Laboratory. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: 3 optional years on a 1+1+1 basis Renewal: 3 optional years on a 1+1+1 basis ### Planning Information UKRI will be holding a Market Engagement event on Monday 13th October 2025 providing an overview of the requirement and the opportunity for suppliers to ask questions.
