The cleaning service provider will work across a wide range of different room types in Imperial buildings, starting in 2026.
At the end of September 2025, Imperial College London appointed Mitie as its new cleaning services supplier for a 5-year contract.
The contract covers a vast array of cleaning services across 37 different room types, including: lecture theatres, class rooms, catering and retail facilities, laboratories, workshops, gymnasiums, games and music rooms, events spaces and more.
The contract will commence on 1 February 2026 and replaces the existing agreement with previous service provider Bidvest Noonan, which will end on 31 January 2026.
Delivering world-class services
Mitie has defined their approach to providing Imperial's cleaning services as: "Delivering world-class, reliable, and highly sustainable cleaning services that reflect Imperial's global reputation – through innovation, partnership, and a people-first approach that enriches the student experience and ensures excellence every day."
On top of providing 'core cleaning services,' Mitie outlined extensive new cleaning equipment and ICT system applications, along with a new "employee value proposition" for all cleaning staff at Imperial. Mitie and Imperial have committed to ensure all cleaning staff are transferred as part of a smooth mobilisation period.
Imperial would like to thank Bidvest Noonan for all their dedicated service over recent years.
