## Summary

The University of the West of England is procuring agency cleaning staff to cover vacancies and provide additional capacity during peak periods. The requirement is for the supply of commercial or industrial workers, under the cleaning agency staff service. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The service is associated with the university’s operations in South West England. The selected provider is Berkeley Scott Limited, a large recruitment and staffing company. This opportunity is therefore relevant to agencies able to source, vet and supply temporary cleaning personnel for an institutional or commercial environment, particularly where staffing levels need to flex around vacancies and periods of increased demand.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Berkeley Scott Limited under a single lot. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026, starts on 1 August 2026 and runs until 31 July 2027. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated basis for the award is the direct, below-threshold route rather than a competitive evaluation. The requirement covers agency cleaning staff for vacancy cover and peak-period support, with Berkeley Scott appointed to provide this service through the contract period.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for temporary cleaning labour at the University of the West of England, covering both routine vacancy replacement and short-term increases in staffing demand. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to commercial or industrial cleaning workers, the ability to respond quickly when vacancies arise, and sufficient recruitment and workforce-management capacity to support peak periods. Relevant strengths would include effective candidate sourcing, screening, onboarding, scheduling and replacement arrangements, together with experience supplying temporary staff to a large institutional setting. The buyer’s use of a direct below-threshold route also indicates that suppliers should understand proportionate public-sector purchasing and be ready to present a clear, dependable service model.
