What is being bought

Published requirement description

Stanmore College is a successful and vibrant Further Education college located in Stanmore, Middlesex. With student population of nearly 2,730 aged between 16 and 18 years of age, the College is supported by a team of 250 teaching and support staff. The College provides a dynamic learning environment across a modern and well-maintained single campus.

The College is now tendering its cleaning services with the aim of appointing a professional and proactive cleaning contractor who can help maintain the high standards of presentation and hygiene expected by students, staff and visitors.

The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st April 2026, initially spanning three years with an option for both parties to extend the contract for a further two years, (3+1+1) beyond this date by mutual agreement. Any contract extension will be subject to the College’s satisfaction and agreement on budgets and service levels.

The estimated turnover for the entire five-year duration is approximately £770,000.

The contract is focused on consistently high levels of cleaning service and pro-active management. Regular termly and annual reviews throughout the contract duration are mandatory, and a break clause should be included to support both parties in case the relationship does not thrive. The College expects the successful contractor to deliver an excellent level of service, as well as high standards of support and a strong working relationship throughout the year.

The procurement process follows a two stage ‘Competitive Flexible’ approach, beginning with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage after shortlisting.

The successful bidder will be expected to operate with a strong partnership, integrity and honesty.
