The tender seeks a professional cleaning service to maintain the facilities of Penyrheol Comprehensive School in Gorseinon, Swansea. The provider will be responsible for all routine and periodic cleaning activities across a secondary school campus that currently hosts around 870 pupils and 110 staff members, including a Specialist Teaching Facility for pupils with moderate to severe learning difficulties. The contractor will need to cover the existing cleaning schedule, which comprises a 39‑week term of standard cleaning supplemented by two weeks of deep cleaning, and ensure all premises are fully serviced each day by 6.00 p.m. with no daytime cleaning provision in place at present.

The contracting school requires a supplier with demonstrable experience in the secondary school sector and a strong operational presence in South Wales to facilitate responsive support, operational resilience and flexibility throughout the agreed three‑year term, with the possibility of a three‑year extension. The selected provider must implement a robust management structure and maintain regular engagement with school stakeholders to guarantee consistent delivery of the specification. Monthly reconciliation will confirm that actual hours work match those budgeted, and any shortfall will be compensated by credit on a contract‑based hourly rate.

All cleaning services must be delivered at a guaranteed level of performance, ensuring both the prescribed number of input hours and the quality standards expected by the school.

The Business Services Organisation (BSO) is seeking contracted providers to deliver the transportation of deceased remains to meet the requirements of Health and Social Care (HSC) in Northern Ireland. The tender is issued as a recurrent procurement and covers a five‑year period for which providers may be engaged for additional 24‑month extensions, allowing an adaptable service that can respond to fluctuating demand. The coordinating body, the Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS), will award contracts in separate lots that correspond to the distinct regional health trusts.

For each of the five health and social care trusts—Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust, Western Health and Social Care Trust, Southern Health and Social Care Trust, and Northern Health and Social Care Trust—the tender calls for transport arrangements capable of moving deceased individuals swiftly, securely, and with respect for dignity. Each lot specifies the same core service requirement: the efficient and compliant relocation of remains to the appropriate facilities or burial sites, ensuring continuity of care and adherence to statutory death‑related protocols.

All service providers must operate in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act and related regulations, and must maintain the confidentiality, safety, and dignity of the remains throughout transit.

The London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC), acting on behalf of the UK Universities Purchasing Consortia (UKUPC), is establishing a Framework Agreement to secure comprehensive building maintenance services for university estates across the United Kingdom. The Framework is divided into two distinct Lots: Lot 1 covers an integrated maintenance programme that includes planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive repairs, emergency response, statutory compliance activities, fabric maintenance and the delivery of minor works projects; Lot 2 provides specialist mechanical, electrical and plumbing/public health (MEP) maintenance, encompassing PPM, reactive work, emergency response, statutory inspections, testing and compliance specifically related to building engineering systems. Both Lots are organised into regional panels with coverage in Scotland, Northern England, North East & Yorkshire, Midlands, Wales, South West England, Greater London, East of England, South East England and Northern Ireland, allowing suppliers to bid for one or several regions to support localised, nationwide service delivery.

Suppliers awarded call‑off contracts under this Framework will operate using the NEC4 Facilities Management Contract (FMC) as the governing contract document. The FMC will be used to issue Service Orders for routine and reactive maintenance activities, and where applicable, Project Orders will be issued under Option X27 to manage minor works and project work linked to the maintenance service. This contractual approach is designed to provide a consistent, high‑quality, and flexible framework that will meet the varied needs of university facilities while supporting the integrated delivery of maintenance and minor works across the consortium’s estates.

All procurable services shall be delivered under the NEC4 Facilities Management Contract framework with Service Orders for maintenance activities and Project Orders where applicable under Option X27.

The Joint Nature Conservation Committee is inviting participation in a Business Associates Framework Agreement aimed at securing expert consultancy services to enhance the protection and management of the United Kingdom’s biodiversity across terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric domains, and to support related economic, social and technical analysis. The framework will cover six distinct contracts—specialising in terrestrial ecosystems and freshwater drivers of biodiversity loss, marine management including fisheries and offshore activities, air and environmental quality assessment, economic, social science and evaluation methods, earth observation and data analytics, and corporate services focused on organisational design and development. Each lot represents an estimated value of £2 million excluding VAT, with potential renewal options of up to two additional years, and a total of 90 suppliers may be awarded across the lots.

Journaling suppliers will be expected to deliver high‑quality, evidence‑based advice that aligns with UK statutory guidance and best‑practice scientific standards, ensuring continuous improvement, value for money and efficient delivery throughout the contract term.

The managed‑service component will be tailored locally, with each participating authority determining specific needs and agreeing price proposals under the framework while maintaining high quality, social value and operational reliability throughout the contract period.
