## Summary

Plumpton College is seeking a supplier to provide internal building cleaning services at the college in Plumpton, near Lewes. The work covers cleaning buildings within the college; the service is classified as building-cleaning services (CPV 90911200). This is a single-lot service requirement, rather than a collection of separate cleaning contracts. It may suit cleaning contractors able to deliver a managed service for an educational site and organise staffing, quality control and day-to-day delivery around the college’s needs.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for questions was 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid deadline was 7 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 22 February 2027 to 21 February 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, up to 21 February 2032. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT). The college plans to assess price (40%) alongside service delivery methodology (15%), quality assurance and performance management (10%), mobilisation, TUPE and transition (10%), staffing, training and management (15%), and social value, environmental sustainability and community impact (10%).

The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is best suited to a cleaning provider able to explain how it will deliver and manage internal cleaning services at a college, assure quality and monitor performance against key indicators. Bidders should be ready to set out their mobilisation and transition approach, including handling TUPE, and show how they will recruit, train and manage the required staff. The evaluation also rewards proposals addressing social value, environmental sustainability and community impact, so suppliers with credible plans in these areas can demonstrate their fit. Price matters, but it is only 40% of the assessment; the remaining 60% is based on service quality and wider delivery commitments.
