The work covers the institutions’ sites at 1 and 2 Lister Street, Birmingham, postcode B7 4AG. It includes regular, routine cleaning during normal term-time operations, together with more specific periodic cleaning outside term time. This is a services opportunity for businesses providing commercial or education-sector cleaning, particularly those able to manage a coordinated service across multiple specialist educational facilities. The relevant service category is school cleaning services, classified under CPV 90919300.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for offers was 5 October 2026 at 10:00 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. Its estimated total value is £562,422, including the stated currency of GBP. The requirement is presented as a single cleaning-services opportunity covering the three institutions and two Birmingham sites. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses are directed to access competition CA18419 through the MultiQuote supplier portal; registered suppliers can log in, while new suppliers can register and quote the competition reference. The buyer is Aston University STEM Education Academy Trust.

This opportunity suits an established cleaning contractor with the operational capacity to coordinate services across three specialist educational institutions on two nearby Birmingham sites. The strongest fit is likely to be a business experienced in planned commercial or school cleaning, able to deliver dependable daily routines during term time and organise additional periodic work when the institutions are not operating. Suppliers should be prepared to manage a multi-site service consistently, maintain reliable staffing and supervision, and adapt cleaning activity to the differing needs of an engineering academy, a mathematics school and a specialist institute. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller providers with sufficient local capacity and experience in comparable education or public-sector environments.
