What is being bought

Published requirement description

An open below threshold tender was published via eTender Wales to award to a single supplier to provide the below requirement:

Estates Facilities required a single supplier who will be able to provide a deep clean service and housekeeping service to the University of South Wales Student Halls of Residence. The contract is split into 2 sections:

Deep Cleaning: The service will begin middle/end of June 2025 and again in 2026. The contract will cover the deep clean of 100 x bedrooms, kitchens and en-suite bathrooms, followed by making beds and getting spaces ready for our summer corporate guests staying with us. (Please note: the numbers are an estimation and kitchens and ensuites we asked for individual prices as unknown numbers)

Housekeeping: As the duration for each guest changes, there will be a requirement for each room to be Sparkle cleaned after the guest have left. This will include beds stripped and get the room ready for the next guest.

CPV: Other community, social and personal services

Published award criteria (2)
  • Price
  • Quality : Including 10% social value and 30% quality
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

    The requirement for additional goods and services arose during the contract period and included the hire of duvets and pillows, bedding and towel laundry services, and the packaging and storage of duvets and pillows at the end of the accommodation period. As Ametros is the incumbent provider of the cleaning services, the integration of these additional requirements within the existing service arrangement provides operational efficiencies.
