## Summary

Bedford College is procuring a single provider for window-cleaning services across its campuses in Bedfordshire, Central Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. The work covers the college’s buildings and requires cleaning to the specifications and frequencies set out in the tender pack. The requirement is for a reliable contractor able to deliver consistently high standards across multiple campus locations, with transparent costing and demonstrable value for money. This is a services contract for window cleaning, rather than the supply of equipment or general facilities management. It is suited to a business that can organise and maintain a consistent service across a geographically distributed college estate, following site-specific building requirements and agreed cleaning frequencies.

The procurement reached tender: Bedford College invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 30 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 7 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2027, with three possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 1 November 2030. Its estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. The buyer expected to complete the award process by 2 November 2026. Bids are evaluated on price, weighted at 65%, and quality, weighted at 35%. The opportunity is a single lot and electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits established window-cleaning contractors able to provide a dependable, high-quality service across several campuses and maintain consistent standards over a multi-year arrangement. Strong candidates will be able to interpret building specifications, plan cleaning frequencies, coordinate staff and equipment across Bedfordshire, Central Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, and provide clear, transparent costings. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may fit specialist regional providers as well as larger operators. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate operational capacity, reliable service management and the experience needed to deliver window cleaning across multiple education sites, while competing on both service quality and price.
