Summary of the contracting process

The Marlborough Primary School Cleaning Tender, issued by PROCUREMENT FOR SCHOOLS LTD, seeks an experienced cleaning contractor for the Marlborough Primary School located in Harrow, London. This contract falls within the 'School cleaning services' industry category and follows an open procedure above the threshold. The tender is currently in the tender amendment stage, with the procurement period closing on 14th November 2025. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and spans a potential duration of four years (2+1+1 years), subject to performance evaluation and extensions. The estimated contract value stands at £180,000 GBP, indicative of the scale and significance of this opportunity.

This tender represents a golden opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in cleaning services, especially those with experience in educational environments. As this is the first outsourcing by the school, there is a notable opportunity to engage with all applicable staff under LGPS terms and to potentially expand into long-term service provision through possible contract extensions. Companies capable of offering comprehensive testimonials, evidenced by at least five school references, will be competitive. This contract not only promises a stable revenue stream but also the chance to build a fruitful relationship with the procurement body and establish a presence in the educational sector in London.
