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.

The University will now offer eligible service user students a number of free washes and dry services per term, (payable by the University), so this will no longer be a concession contract. This new service contract will include the supply, installation and maintenance of all laundry equipment including the operation of payment facilities. The renewal will ensure continuity of services for the students including a commitment by the Supplier to replace all the washing and drying machines with brand new equipment and the refurbishment of the laundry rooms on all sites.

Buckinghamshire New University ("University") has been using the Blackboard Virtual Leaning Environment ("VLE") since 2012, with the technology now profoundly integrated across the University's students and staff teaching and learning activities.
