In plain English
Hertford Regional College is looking for a cleaning company to clean its two campuses, at Broxbourne (Turnford) and Ware, in Hertfordshire. The contract runs for 3 years from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend it by up to 2 more years to March 2032. The total estimated value is £2,150,000.
What the buyer wants
• Provide core term-time cleaning and periodic deep cleaning across both college sites, with proposals to improve the current service. • Manage cleaning staff closely, keep productivity high, and maintain a plan to keep both campuses fully staffed at all times. • Pass a two-stage selection process: a pre-qualification questionnaire first, then a full tender with detailed method statements and pricing. The college may not choose the lowest price.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The contract is large (£2.15m over 3 to 5 years across two sites), so most small cleaning firms would be unable to show the financial strength, track record and staffing capacity needed to pass the first stage.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
