RFx ID: 34820184 Organisation: University of Canterbury Open date: Monday, 31 August 2026 1:30 PM +12:00 Close date: Monday, 14 September 2026 3:00 PM +12:00 Categories: 76110000 - Cleaning and janitorial services Region: Canterbury Overview: The University of Canterbury is seeking a provider of external commercial cleaning staff to support the delivery of internal building cleaning services across parts of our campus. This is for routine inside cleaning only and will complement our in-house cleaning team as part of a mixed service model. This excludes all external cleaning activities, including but not limited to building exteriors, external windows, roofs, gutters, car parks, footpaths, landscaping, and other outdoor areas. We are not seeking proposals for services outside this internal cleaning scope. This includes external building cleaning, grounds or landscaping work, building maintenance, security services, or other unrelated facilities services. We do not want labour-hire only or recruitment-only solutions, franchise-based delivery models, or broad theoretical proposals that do not clearly show how the service will be delivered in practice. We are also not seeking proposals for cleaning equipment, automation, or machine-based solutions intended to replace or materially reduce the need for cleaning staff, as this procurement is specifically for the provision of cleaning staff services. Please ensure you download all documents and take note of important instructions and dates/deadlines. All proposals need to fully meet the requirements and adhere to the instructions. If proposals do not comply, it may lead to the proposal not proceeding to evaluation. UC has no obligation to verify or clarify information provided by a Respondent, or to provide Respondents with an opportunity to resubmit corrected documentation. Questions can be asked at any time, please do not wait for the deadline of 12pm 4 September. No site visits will be conducted during the ROI stage.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this facility management & cleaning opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
