## Summary

The University of Exeter is seeking a contractor to inspect, clean, certify and report on catering extract ductwork and ventilation systems across its estate. The work is intended to keep these systems safe, clean and compliant, and must follow relevant legislation, TR19 requirements and industry best practice. This is a specialist ventilation-system inspection and cleaning service (CPV 90910000, cleaning services). The delivery location is in the United Kingdom; no specific town or site is identified. The requirement covers catering extract and ventilation systems rather than general catering provision, so it is relevant to firms that maintain, clean and assess commercial kitchen extraction and ventilation installations.

The University invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set 19 November 2026 at 14:00 for enquiries and 27 November 2026 at 12:00 for bid submission; the intended award date was 18 December 2026. The contract period was set from 11 January 2027 to 10 January 2030, with two optional 12-month extensions and a maximum stated end date of 10 January 2032. The estimated value is £270,000 excluding VAT (£324,000 including VAT). The procurement is a single lot, with no division into smaller lots. Evaluation gives quality a 60% weighting and price 40%.

This opportunity is suited to an established specialist contractor with demonstrable experience inspecting and cleaning catering extract ductwork and ventilation systems. The buyer expects technical expertise, sufficient resources and management capability to serve a diverse, operationally complex estate, alongside a commitment to continuous improvement and high-quality delivery. Suppliers must be able to provide inspection, cleaning, certification and reporting, and work to applicable legislation, TR19 requirements and industry best practice. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable for the requirement. The weighted evaluation favours quality over price, so bidders should be able to show how their technical approach, service management and reporting will maintain safe, clean and compliant systems across the contract.
