Premises Cleaning

Description

Cardiff Metropolitan University is hosting a pre-market engagement event for the re-procurement of its Premises Cleaning contract, which expires on the 30th of June 2026. The contract requires the cleaning of all the University’s premises, which are approximately 68,000 m2. The estate ranges from traditional offices, teaching spaces to laboratories and sporting facilities. The contract will also include twice yearly window cleaning; a twice-yearly specialist clean of the Podiatry Department, light waste removal duties and carpet cleaning as required. The cleaning services are required for 51 weeks of the year, apart from our sports facilities areas which are open to the public and require a cleaning service for 52 weeks of the year. The successful supplier will be required to provide all cleaning materials and consumables, cleaning machinery and staff uniforms. At this stage, it is also our intention to include a separate lot within the tender for the University’s summer residential cleaning requirements. This will be for the provision of a deep cleaning service of our student accommodation at the Cyncoed Campus (CF23 6XD) and the Plas Gwyn Halls of Residences (CF5 2XJ). In total, Cyncoed Campus consists of 484 en-suite bedrooms, 53 kitchens and all associated linked corridors. Plas Gwyn consists of 392 bedrooms, 49 kitchens and all linked corridors. This service is required annually between June and August. The contract will be in place for a period of five-years, with two one-year extensions available (5+1+1). The objectives for the pre-market engagement event are: • To allow the University to provide an overview of the requirements of the contract, • To gauge interest around the contract opportunity, • To assess the supplier’s ability to support the indicative contract timelines, • To obtain feedback and answer any questions on the requirements as currently defined, • To provide an opportunity for suppliers to raise any questions or concerns that they may have.
