Summary of the contracting process

The Litmus Partnership Ltd is managing a tender for cleaning services at Tewkesbury School, located in Tewkesbury, England. The tender, which was awarded on 12 March 2018, involves a contract period starting from 1 April 2018 and concluding on 31 March 2024, with a potential extension of three years. The total contract value is estimated at £660,000, with the projected cost for the first contractual year set at £110,000. This procurement falls under the category of school cleaning services and was selected through a restricted procedure. The deadline for submitting the Selection Questionnaire was 25 August 2017, and the successful supplier for this contract is Churchill Contract Services Ltd.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in cleaning services within the educational sector. Suppliers with experience in secondary schools, higher education, or further education markets are well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses operationally based in Central England may find it advantageous, as this enables them to provide the necessary contract support and flexibility during the contract term. With Tewkesbury School's potential conversion to a multi-academy trust, further opportunities may arise as additional schools join under the same contract, expanding the scope of services required.
