Description

The University of Edinburgh will shortly be going out to tender via a Restricted Procedure to engage suitably qualified, resourced and experienced suppliers to provide window cleaning services across the estate. The University of Edinburgh is procuring window cleaning services across a large and diverse estate, including historic listed buildings and modern facilities, spanning multiple campus locations. The requirement is for a prompt, efficient and consistently high-quality service delivered year-round (52 weeks), with capacity to flex to changing priorities and emerging needs. Suppliers are expected to work collaboratively with University representatives and operate in a way that minimises disruption, as many buildings will be occupied during service delivery. Window cleaning requirements include both planned/programmed cleans and reactive/short-notice cleans. For planned works, cleaning will be scheduled in advance and must be delivered to agreed timescales, with early notification to the University if issues arise that may affect delivery. For reactive requests, the University requires a same working day response to enquiries, with a quotation and agreed delivery timescales within 24 hours. Predominant cleaning method is expected to be reach and wash, however some buildings will require alternative access methods such as rope access/abseiling and MEWPs, and bidders must demonstrate capability to deliver these safely and compliantly. A key operational feature is significant peak demand during defined periods, with a requirement for sufficient staffing, vehicles and equipment to deliver high volumes within short timescales. Quality sign-off is required following completion of cleans (by the University’s nominated representative). Contractors are responsible for taking due care of University fixtures and fittings and must report any defects discovered (e.g., broken or defective windows, hinges, safety catches) and any accidental damage immediately, in line with contract reporting procedures.
