What is being bought

Published requirement description

The University of Huddersfield is seeking quotations for the supply, installation, commissioning, and support of an autonomous robotic cleaning fleet suitable for operation across a busy higher-education estate.

The proposed solution must be capable of operating safely and efficiently within dynamic, high-footfall environments where pedestrian movement, furniture layouts and cleaning priorities frequently change throughout the day.

We are seeking an intelligent solution that improves productivity, enhances cleaning standards and provides measurable operational and sustainability benefits.

The University has allocated £90,000 (excluding VAT) as an indicative budget envelope for this procurement. Suppliers should submit their best value proposal within this budget.
