Description
Buckinghamshire New University ("University") published a Transparency Notice (UK 5 - unique identifier 2025/S 000-046663) to make a direct award to renew its current Cleaning, Pest Control and Grounds Maintenance contract ("Contract"). The University was required to renew the contract for a strictly limited period of 6 months, with the option to extend by a further 6 months (only if required). This will maintain service continuity and avoid any impact on the start of the new academic term starting in September, and also give the University time and focus, to allow it to complete its internal operational review regarding the future delivery model for the facilities management contract.
